Jess, the size of the panel is not always relevant because of the potential for selection bias. The commercial services like Comscore and NetRatings use random digit dialing to identify and subsequently screen potential panelists, while Alexa and Compete rely on internet users to come to them first; these panelists are probably much more likely to be heavy internet users and as such have very different behavior patterns than the average internet user.

As Micki notes, video consumption that is “syndicated” from Revver or similar sites is typically not included in these rankings. Finally, and perhaps most significantly, no service can currently capture streaming or play activity; unique visits to a certain domain & the number of sessions can be tracked, but not actual activity.

Nielsen NetRatings haas been working on a product that relies on a combination of javascript tags and panel data to record play activity associated with a given domain, but that domain has to subscribe to the service (it will probably cost $10-$30K per year) in order to have NetRatings report the data.

So in other words, our understanding of video usage on the internet is incomplete at best at the moment, so it’s probably best to remain skeptical when various rankings and traffic estimates such as these are trumpeted by the media.
