Everyone’s a winner in new Nielsen online numbers

Fairfax appears to be the biggest local network to benefit from a move by Nielsen to revamp its online audience panel.  

The move has seen the data provider make greater efforts to separate its measurement of home and work audiences so the same people are not counted twice. And the updated netView methodology has lifted the audience that Nielsen attributes to most sites, because it says it was underestimating the number of people who get online at work.

The panel size has been increased to 7000 people including 1400 at work.

Using the new system, Australia’s active online audience was estimated at 13.7m in July compared to 11.7m in June.
