I fail to see why the ABC "should' be doing this. I know THEY think they
should; I've seen enough presentations by their representatives claiming
that, because they've historically done magazines, they should also do the
Web. (Hint: some of us don't have anything in print...).

Right now I'm not real confident in the ability of the ABC to audit large
readership sites. Not that I'm enamored of IPRO, NetCount or anyone else in
the field. I think it's a very difficult undertaking--something we're all
learning--to audit and/or count log files. Every site is a little bit
different, so each job becomes a custom job for these companies. I think
timeliness and accuracy are still a ways off.

Advertisers have an interest in how well your site is read and in their
share of voice vis-a-vis other advertisers. It's similar to the clutter
issue in print.
