About comScore’s Methodology

Note that certain comScore clients have moved to the Full Hybrid measurement methodology, while others have moved to “Partial Hybrid” status (as did Answers Corporation) or have yet to implement hybrid measurement. Direct comparison of a ranking post-Hybrid implementation vs. pre-Hybrid implementation may not reflect the actual change in the site’s ranking or audience size over time. Answers implemented hybrid measurement beginning August 2009. Additional information about comScore’s measurement methodologies can be found at www.comscore.com.
