Most of Google's gains in the Nielsen//NetRatings rankings came from number two player Yahoo!, given a 28.8 percent share by comScore Networks but only 23.8 percent by Nielsen//NetRatings. Other rankings were as follows (comScore ratings in parentheses): MSN 9.6 (12.8); AOL 6.3 (5.9); ask.com 2.6 (5.4). comScore says its statistics are based on a "massive, global cross-section of more than two million consumers who have given comScore permission to confidentially capture their browsing and transaction behaviour, including online and offline purchasing." Nielsen//NetRatings figures are compiled using its MegaView methodology, but iTWire was unable to locate a comparable explanation of this on the company's web site. |
