MUMBAI: The Nielsen Company, well-known for its television ratings services, is launching a new service to help online advertisers achieve better visibility over their Internet-based promotional campaigns.

The Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings service will be rolled out on 15 August.

With the new system in place, advertisers will be able to measure the combined reach of their TV, Web and mobile marketing initiatives.

With over 160 million U.S. users, Facebook has become an online advertising behemoth. The social network‘s ad revenues will continue its upward movement, if the company can demonstrate its ability to match with other advertising media.
