This invention comprises a method and system for estimating unique visitors for Internet sites that is more accurate than the existing unique cookie / unique address counting methods. The invented method relies on the count of unique user identifiers (such as network addresses or preferably cookies)—I—that can be obtained from an existing cookie tracking / user access logging system. The number of unique visitors U is calculated substantially as a ratio of the count of unique cookies (or unique network addresses) to the number of visits N times the inflation factor X plus constant on that is approximately one (exactly one in the case of cookies). The number of visits is calculated by multiplying the sampling period t to the visitation frequency T1 minus one. The resulting estimate of the unique visitors is stable and does not diverge with sampling time unlike estimates directly obtained from the unique network address or unique cookie counts. The method is also applicable when there are multiple dominant visitation frequencies by accounting to the sum by all significant visitation frequencies. All key parameters of the method can be established before hand by mining a multitude of the site's historical visit logs and / or third party site access logs; the parameters can be corrected / calculated dynamically by mining the site's current access log (or current third party logs) while focusing on unambiguously identified visitors (such as return visitors identified by their login ID or unchanged cookie value).

A system and method for analyzing traffic to a website is provided that is based on log files and that uses both server-side and client-side information channeled through one source to create a more complete picture of activity to a website.

The invention discloses a UV counting method and device for a real-time analysis system and a server. The method includes the steps that user identifiers of all visitors visiting websites through the Internet in preset time frames are added into adaptive cardinal number counting algorithm objects corresponding to the preset time frames, and the adaptive cardinal number counting algorithm objects are serialized and then written into a database; unique visitor (UV) counting is carried out according to an object series obtained after serialization in the database. In this way, due the fact that the size of memory space occupied by the adaptive cardinal number counting algorithm objects can be preset, the size of memory space occupied by UV counting is still the size of the memory space occupied by the adaptive cardinal number counting algorithm objects even the number of user identifiers of visitors needing to be counted is very large, and thus large memory space is saved.

A method of determining webpage abandonment configures webpages of a scoped domain to include at least one question and at least one associated answer displayable in response to receiving an explicit user interaction; implement tracking logic to generate a unique visitor ID, a unique webpage ID, and timestamp in response to detecting a webpage loading event on the scoped domain; generate a unique question / answer pair ID and timestamp in response to detecting an answer presentation event on the scoped domain; and operate a multiplexing switch to selectively transmit a webpage interaction entry and an answer presentation entry for storage in allocated of memory. The method filter for destination pages by the identified unique visitor IDs; configures a timer to filter for the associated destination pages for abandonment events based on the elapsed time; calculate a ranking metric to store question / answer pairs, and reposition stored question / answer pairs based on recursive operations.

The embodiment of the invention provides a display method for description information of service objects and devices and is used for solving the problem that page views and unique visitors are reduced and a website bounce rate is increased due to appearance of vacant display blocks. The method comprises the steps of sending a webpage access request to a server by a user terminal; receiving a webpage access response which is sent by the server and carries a sequence list, wherein the sequence list is obtained after various categories of lists are integrally joined by the server, and each category of lists comprises identification information of the category and the description information of the service objects; determining position information of the description information of the initial service objects of the various categories in the sequence list; generating page index indicators through utilization of the identification information and the determined position information of the various categories; generating a page containing the description information of the service objects according to an arranging sequence of the description information of the service objects in the sequence list; and mapping the generated page index indicators to the page and displaying the generated page index indicators.

A media creative attribution method includes determining a response profile within an attribution time window, the response profile being a portion of a unique visitor (UV) curve associated with a website. In some cases, a shadow baseline analysis is run on every media creative that aired within an extended time window to determine whether to adjust the response profile. A total lift within the attribution time window is determined utilizing a baseline of the UV curve. A weight for each media creative that aired within the attribution time window is determined. Utilizing the weight, the total lift is allocated to individual media creatives that aired within the attribution time window. The allocated attribution can be utilized to generate performance metrics relating to the individual media creatives that aired within the attribution time window. The performance metrics such as cost per visitor can be visualized through a user interface or dashboard.

An attribution system aggregates and merges online data and offline chronologically. The attribution system examines merged data for unique visitor (UV) sessions initiated at an online medium (e.g., a website) within an attribution window for a spot that aired on an offline medium (e.g., a television network) and, for each conversion event that occurred in a UV session, assigns a session timestamp to it so that the conversion event is correlated to the spot. The attribution system then determines an overall conversion rate of UVs to the online medium in the attribution window and the attribution by the spot that aired on the offline medium to the overall conversion rate of UVs to the online medium in the attribution window. Results of the offline attribution to the online conversions can be visualized and presented on a client device communicatively connected to the attribution system.
