[...] We’ve seen situations where Comscore showed erratic traffic swings before. In August Comscore showed a significant decline in Del.icio.us traffic, when Hitwise said it was increasing. Yahoo showed disclosed some internal traffic stats and it turned out Comscore was dead wrong. In the case of Technorati v. Google, it looks to be wrong again. [...]

comScore screws the pooch again…

“One point of controversy was around Digg’s claim of 20 million unique monthly visitors and steep monthly growth, whereas the Comscore’s most recent September report shows only 1.3 million monthly unique visitors and flat growth since April (see chart below). Comscore is notoriously flaky, and these numbers are for U.S. households only. Comscore is almost certainly significantly under-reporting Digg traffic.”

[...] Last week Michael Arrington made a series of posts here about some contested traffic stats on the popular social bookmarking service del.cio.us. His initial post focused on Comscore data, which showed traffic to the site declining (”Dazzle us again, Del.icio.us“) and Alexa data that was showing flatlined traffic. After a conversation with del.icio.us founder Joshua Schacter, Eckart Walther, VP Product for Search and Melissa Rische, PR Manager for Yahoo Search he posted a follow up on the post with information from Yahoo! claiming that del.icio.us growth was going strong. He said he had every reason to believe that the company was telling the truth and was thus most concerned about Comscore’s inability to get the numbers right. [...]

Brian: I have no problem accepting the value of the clickstream data, but I operate in a market where each visitor is worth minimally $0.35. So if comScore says we get 350k fewer visitors than we really do, then that’s $1.4M less traffic value per year. Multiply that by a valuation multiple and we’re talking serious money, at least for a bootstrapped enterprise.

I think the problem is that bizdev and media people think that comScore is the final word on visitor counts, when it is not.

I disagree with the assertion that different analytics trackers like Google Analytics vs. Webtrends Live vs. Coremetrics vs. WebSideStory would produce as much variance. Perhaps this is true if you’re using web server log data, but results from cookie-based tracking is what it is.

Interestingly, 10% month on month growth is almost exactly the trend shown in the hitwise chart.

If the internal claim and one external source say the same thing, I have no trouble believing it.

Jeb: 31% lower projected unique user count may be plenty acceptable from panel based audience measurement. You can get almost as much variance in uniques by using different web analytics tools on your own site.

The juice in Comscore is not in their estimate of the size of a given site’s audience, but in the behavioral data: how people got to the site; what keywords they were searching on; how and whether they bought something; how much they bought; why they left the site and where they went afterwards; what other comparable sites they also visited; etc. Think of it as clickstream analysis on your competitors’ websites. In some markets, those insights are worth a lot of money.

One of the main reasons why d.i.o has increased user registrations and increased usage, is because of the many spammers who are creating dozens of accounts and putting in craploads of links in to the system in order to get exposure to their system…

I speak from experience. I have written and sold scripts that create multiple d.i.o accounts and post bookmarks to them…

Cheers,
Esp.

comScore is terrible.

I run a site that got 1.1M visitors in June (per Google Analytics “absolute unique visitor” count), but comScore (I’m told by sources who can afford their reports) only showed us getting 750k visitors.

I was telling a VC about the descrepancy and he was like, “yeah, comScore is way off because of their sampling method.”

A 31% lower count??? That is not acceptable. It’s practically defamation.
