Kevin Mannion Sky Road Consulting (Full disclosure: Quantcast is a client) Re: Worth Using Quantcast? 15 Years Ago by Dani I can see that including their JavaScript would give much more accurate results, as they'd be able to include all of your traffic as opposed to just a small guestimate. However, I'm shocked to know that Digg includes Quantcast's code unless they're in some sort of partnership together. I don't know who really goes by Quantcast. Re: Worth Using Quantcast? 15 Years Ago by InsightsDigital I know that Quantcast has done some changes in the past year since this post was orignally posted. I wonder if any members who use Quantcast noticed any improvements or differences in their quants?

However as far as rank is concerned, my pr jumped from 0 -2, alexa from 9m to 3m, quantcast remained the same rank, 1.5m. I dont want to attribute the other two improvements as an effect of having the script, but Im too scared to take it out to test it. Re: Quantcast alternative 2 Years Ago by rproffitt I'm out of date but didn't tracking pixels and a lot of other tracking burn down with browsers implementing blocking for tracking? > The tracker blocker in Opera does exactly that. Block known online trackers like analytic scripts, tracking pixels and other methods of data collection. Everyone I know turns on the blockers so doesn't this … Re: Quantcast alternative 2 Years Ago by Dani I don’t know anyone who uses as blockers or the like, but I’m in the advertising industry :) Of course, they still collect a lot of useful demographic data, and I would suspect the number of people using tracking blockers to be less than 15%. Re: Quantcast alternative 2 Years Ago by rproffitt The folk I know are mostly technical such as engineers, programmers, and so on. Either from military or surveillience industries so I'd put the number that install or turn on the ad blockers at close to 90%.

Facebook Container is a new one … Re: Quantcast alternative 2 Years Ago by Dani I, personally, do not have the same privacy concerns online that I hear so much about. I make my living trying to hustle my brand online, which means putting myself out there as much as possible. I also find targeted ads useful.

This block from what I can tell always blocks the tracking pixel systems that a lot of these companies relied on. Yes they came up with new ways to block your web use and email too but the escalation … Re: Quantcast alternative 2 Years Ago by Dani > This block from what I can tell always blocks the tracking pixel systems that a lot of these companies relied on.

That said, you can imagine other sites such… Re: Quantcast alternative 2 Years Ago by Dani As someone who works painlessly to shave every 10 ms where I can, I can say with confidence that the difference between 1.09 s and 0.91 s can be attributed to just routine network latency, and most likely content being cached the first run and therefore not having to be retrieved over the pipe the second run.
