# Online Traffic Jam

Our colleagues at the Project for Excellence in Journalism recently published a smart take on the significant differences between Nielsen/Net Ratings and comScore when [measuring online traffic.](http://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/node/1938)

I also recommend checking out [Bill Tancer’s blog](http://weblogs.hitwise.com/bill-tancer/) since his group, Hitwise, provides yet another interesting perspective on Web traffic.
