At the Worldwide Readership Research Symposium held last last year in Spain, four online ad experts presented a research paper that should send a shiver down the back of any media buyer or seller's spine. The paper reviewed the methodologies and results from popular syndicated research companies, like Quatcast, Compete, and ComScore. The websites of these companies, and others like them, provide a service (often free at the lowest level of participation) that estimates website traffic for any website URL you type into them. These services are very popular with both media buyers and sellers. Here's the catch: they use different methodologies and can come up with significantly different numbers for the exact same website.

A very popular blogging platform, Blogger is now owned by Google. Some online marketers say that while Blogger lacks some of the features of WordPress and TypePad, it is still a very excellent and stable blogging tool which lets you adjust the publish setting so that you can publish your blog into your own website.
