Ipsos Gemius results allow for direct evaluation of promotional or
brand awareness activities’ effects of a given online service. The
efficiency of activities can be measured e.g. when traffic, average
time spent per visitor on the given web site increase or when the
number of executed page views grows. Consequently, an analysis of
gemiusAudience results allow for optimization of marketing activities
of particular Internet services.
If you take part in the study, your web site's audience data will
directly reach online advertisers. Ipsos mediaCT works with all media
agencies, providing them with data for online media planning and
buying.
Research Methodology
Ipsos Gemius Online Audience Measurement is a state-of-the art
research that integrates offline research, site-centric measurement,
pop-up surveying and user-centric measurement.
The methodology integrates several research components to
generate media planning data:
gemiusTraffic – the site-centric measurement system
(collects usage & traffic data).
Pop up Surveys – pop-up surveys displayed to a random
sample of Internet users visiting participating web sites
(collects socio-demographic and/or product/lifestyle data).
Offline Structural Research – independent research,
conducted on a regular basis using offline methods (describes
the demographics of the Internet user population).
The site-centric data used by gemiusTraffic system collects
traffic/usage data for all Internet users who visit participating web
sites. Within this data, Ipsos Gemius also collects traffic/usage data
for those Internet users who a) visited participating web sites, and b)
filled out pop-up surveys (the “sample”).
These pop-up surveys are emitted randomly to a sample of Internet
users visiting participating web sites. The platform controls for

frequency of emission, non-repeat emission and emission
distribution across time and audience. In order to estimate reach,
Gemius eliminates the bias introduced by cookie deletion. This is
done by isolating a sub-sample of Internet users who Gemius is
certain did not delete their cookies in the reporting period.
Once the sub-sample is isolated, the dataset is then behaviorally
weighted to the Internet user population, to ensure that the sample
is behaviorally representative (e.g. that the average Internet user in
the sample generates the same number of page views on average as
the average Internet user in the population. This process ensures
that traffic estimates in Ipsos Gemius are accurate and consistent
with site-centric tools.
The sample is then weighted demographically to ensure demographic
representativeness by applying structural weights from the offline
structural study.
The final result is media planning data based on a sample of
thousands of respondents, describing all participating web sites in
great detail.
The key difference between the pop-up panel approach and the
software approach lies in the web sites reported: the pop-up panel
can only report participating web sites. The software panel can
report all web sites (whether they choose to participate or not).
