How does tagging with comScore work?

It's easy for publishers, advertising networks and content creators to participate in comScore Direct.

After signing up through comScore Direct, participants receive the unique tags to place across their digital assets. Once tags are placed, comScore is able to view these calls on its consumer research panel in addition to measuring the direct server calls. This unique perspective allows comScore to validate that the tag calls are measuring activities consistent with its audience measurement methodology. comScore applies proprietary data cleansing, dictionary rules, and validation processes, and once validated the tag counts are used to set the usage levels by site, resulting in the audience measurement.
