Nielsen to Begin Ranking
Websites Based on Length of Visit
New measurement encourages websites to
keep visitors occupied for as long as
possible without taking their eyes off
the page because every second they stay
there without clicking away to another
site increases the rates the site can
charge advertisers who are very fickle
and adhere to Nielsen's numbers almost
religiously which isn't surprising since
Nielsen Media Research has been around
since at least the 1920's we think
although we haven't had time to look it
up since beginning this sentence and
needing to hold your attention for maybe
another five seconds or so and we'll all
be very happy yes we will thank you very
much. |
