New measrurement techniques are hard to find and you’ll always have a problem with privacy. Sites like Facebook or Twitter show how you could get private data easily but I am not sure if they use the data the right way.

Sites with strong engagement are more likely to command higher ad-impression rates in a Web market that is awash in inventory, much of it on pages with little or no engagement.

Trying to improve the conversation rate on my website at the moment, these types of analytics should help me see where we are going wrong.
