Editor's Notes
Online is blessed (or cursed, depending on your perspective) with a lot of different measures. Several systems can provide any one of the measures outliend above. For example, {Review Chart}. Unlike other media which have just one accepted measure (OzTAM ratings in TV), there are no agreed industry standard measures in online, which makes life difficult. The IAB is working on rectifying this situation, as obviously having one set of numbers that are used across the industry is crucial.
