Although internet advertising have merits in terms
of measuring its effectiveness instantly, there have not been empirical
study about the accuracy of its measurement.
This study examined
the performance and accuracy of three methods to measure website
traffic: Web server logfile analysis, JavaScript analysis, and Packet
analysis.
According to the study, the packet analysis method
was the best in overall performance and accuracy. The web
server logfile analysis being most commonly used currently could
neither measure cache data nor count page view accurately.
