Comscore replaces Nielsen as Australia's web audit currency
By Andrew Birmingham Australian web sites will be audited using Comscore, after a late attempt by incumbent Nielsen was rejected by the Audited Media Association of Australia. Which-50 understands that Nielsen attempted to re-enter the process in recent months having at first refused to participate.
However after the company made it clear it did not intend meeting the terms of the RFP issued by the AMAA, but would instead provide its own pitch, its chances where cruelled.
Audited sites were instructed to remove Nielsen tags this month, or else risk incurring further fees from the company.
According to the AMAA, its new audited web measurement service is made up of four key elements;
a tag management system,
automated site scanning technology,
an analytics platform,
and audit services and data reporting which will be delivered by the AMAA to ensure robust and consistent audited measurement.
The service will include average daily unique browsers, page impressions and session data metrics which the organisation says are based upon global standards set by the IFABC.
They are also apparently part of a broader suite of metrics the AMAA is exploring that will cover things like video activity.
"The service builds upon our members’ desire for web measurement that carries the same level of auditing rigour and transparency that we apply to print and events. Our non-profit mission remains focused on bringing accountability and trust between advertisers, agencies and publishers in an ever-changing media industry,” according to chairman of the AMAA Stephen Hollings.

Getting a website Audit
Almost every webmaster would like his site to perform a little bit better than it is. While building a website can be a very good way to get out a message or to promote a business or cause, it also leads to work in a lot of different areas. Webmasters have to deal with the layout and design of the content, ad placement, content creation, search engine optimization and a host of other activities. If you think your website could be doing better but you're not sure what you need to do to improve performance, sometimes it helps to have a second pair of eyes look at your site. This is what a website audit is all about. Engaging in a comprehensive Web audit will provide you with information about your site that can help you significantly improve the performance of it in the long-term.
Why Your Site Needs an Audit Unless you are an experienced webmaster that has built very successful sides in the past, you could probably use an audit on your site. With a website audit, you get the help of an expert to determine what could be better about your site. The auditor will review your site and try to see how it could be improved. This could involve recommendations about improving the content, changing the layout or doing some more link building to improve search engine rankings. By doing this, you'll be able to get the information that you need to improve the performance of your site. Benefits of a Site Audit One of the major benefits of getting a Web audit is that you can get someone who is not affiliated with the site to look at it objectively. When you look at the site, you may be biased about how good it is because you made it. When someone else looks at the site, they can tell you what visitors will be seeing and thinking. This type of input is very valuable because it gives you information that you can't get by yourself. How it Works when you request a website audit, the auditor will gather information about your site and your competitor’s websites. After you request a website audit, the auditor will examine following aspects
The layout and design elements of your site
Search engine optimization effort and measurement
Social Media presence
Competitive analysis
After the auditor is done, he'll give you a report of his findings and a list of specific recommendations that you can implement.
A great article, very complete, to show the steps in a website audit.
