Abstract
A system for accurately estimating global impression volumes at tag and host levels, and for computing global page views and reach estimates, collects impression volumes for various tracking technologies and for several hosts from a panel of users. The collected panel data is normalized, e.g., to minimize spurious and/or non-human activity data. A scaling factor is computed using measured global impression volume of a reference tag and impression volume of the reference tag with respect to the panel. The required global estimates are obtained by scaling the normalized panel data using the computed scaling factor.
