SO WHAT'S WITH THESE AUDITS? Newspapers and magazines
for years have hired the same old manual "independent" auditing companies to
watch their shipping departments and review paperwork and tell advertisers
supposedly how many periodicals were being sent out. The audit bureaus themselves
are the first to admit that just because something got sent out doesn't mean they
were ever received or picked up and read! Then unless you, as an advertiser, want
to pay a minor fortune to subscribe to the audit bureau reports, you have to rely
upon the results as reviewed and massaged by the periodicals sales department
and released piece-meal to individual advertisers in a way as to reflect kindly
on the periodical. Often only the best months were shown to advertisers.
Well, welcome to the 20th century and the internet, old-timer media boys!
Modern, computerized, independent auditor companies now have the technology
to count every single person who requests a page to read it! Fully automated
and in real time! And since you can go directly to the auditing source
to read it, free of charge, WE never have the chance to touch the data
to manipulate it. Therefore, there's no influencing results, no hiding,
no exaggerating, no lying! Try going to the old fashioned auditors and
asking for a free copy of a publication's private audit!
