Google just created new tools to better quantify the clicks and impressions of ads


Up to now, Google analytics and some products from Nielson and comScore were the only available tools to measure the efficacy of digital advertising campaigns. However, this new Google tool called Active View will be available to advertisers who use the Double click and Google Display networks, and it will measures when an ad is shown or clicked and also whether and ad is actually seen by a visitor to the site.
Another Google tool called GRP “gross rating point” will combine results from a measurement panel with anonymous user data to inform marketers how their ad is performing. This will help advertisers determine how their ads are performing in a certain geographic location and whether they should change the message in the ads for a specific group of viewers.
This announcement gets even better as Google’s spokesman said that there were no immediate plans to charge for these added tools, which are being built into existing Google products.
