I'd like to get a better understanding about how your numbers differ. Could you give me a call? 410-328-0771 Thanks, Ed Neal,

But it's interesting reading, that's for sure! Thanks for sharing those. However useful the numbers may be for comparison purposes, they aren’t even close for our site.

As Krista mentioned, they let encourage publishers (that's us) to become "Quantified". You sign up, then generate a few lines a javascript code, which you add to the footer of your pages. This sends data back to them, which makes your reports much more accurate. I have have two javascripts on our pages - which send data to Quantcast and Google Analytics. Once this is in place, and if you do it for more than one domain - then you can see a roll up report. I've done this for two of my sites and plan to do the rest in the next few weeks. Here are the two domains: http://www.quantcast.com/umm.edu http://www.quantcast.com/umgcc.org and here is my roll-up report: http://www.quantcast.com/p-cdNh2QkM4ZZqE This will not give you a combined ranking number, but that's not too hard to figure out. hope this helps...

I operate two pretty big ones that direct to one site....Or does the service account for that? Pam Hi Ed – Is there a way for us to create custom reports like this for two URLs?

We are indeed working on a Health and Wellness category for our Siteographics. If you are willing to share the list of top sites from your aforementioned research, that would be great, as we are working to build a comprehensive base.

Have you considered adding a Health category to the Quantcast site types? Quantcast currently lists site groups like Teen, Clothing, Auto, Business, Retail, Sports, etc. Certainly Health is a large enough segment to merit it's own category. Thanks, Ed Krista,

Thanks so much for using our service. I just wanted to clarify that our model is unique in that we enable publishers to participate, bringing direct measurement into the traditional ISP panel-based mix. Free of charge, we invite sites to join our Quantified Publisher Program and add lightweight measurement pixels to their pages to enable us to directly measure their actual traffic. This is a surefire way to get more accurate third-party metrics and it also enables publishers to control their profiles on Quantcast.com Thanks, -Krista Hi Ed — Krista from Quantcast here. Thanks so much for using our service.
