RE: UKNM: Usage statistics - the truth?

[Calladine, Dan]

Without getting into mudslinging I'd just like to make two factual points.


1	We do conduct I/PRO reports for UK and European sites - we do a few

every month.


2	Some of our reports are publicly available - have a look at the new

http://www.audit-central.com site.  Have a look under 'Request a Report'.

Not many yet, but it'll grow.


Oh - & like most of my colleagues in the London office, I say 'Tomar-to' not

'Tomay-to'!

Hi


I think you'll find that the only thing that I/Pro are interested in is

satisfying their shareholders and your best bet for truly independently

audited figures for users or anything else is ABC ELECTRONIC, who are an

industry owned non-profit making organisation. They are also a UK based

company whereas I/Pro are Yanks. ABC ELECTRONIC audit 160 odd sites and have

a website at www.abce.org.uk where their audit reports are publicly

available. I have never seen an I/Pro audit report for a UK based site and

don't believe that anyone has ever commissioned one.
