- INFOnline registration
Why do I need to register with INFOnline?
INFOnline GmbH is the technical service provider of AGOF and performs the technical measurement. This is why registering your web site with INFOnline is absolutely essential. The web site operator has to register the web site with INFOnline. Furthermore, INFOnline has been commissioned by AGOF to perform quality assurance tests on the implementation of technical requirements of a newly registered web site before participating in the technical measurement. INFOnline will inform you as the marketer, the website operator and AGOF about the results of these quality assurance tests.
- IVW registration
Why do I need to register with IVW?
IVW publishes technical performance data (visits, page impressions) for online advertising media. IVW’s task is to perform various audits for online advertising media. Among other things, it audits compliance with the principal technical rules of the SZM system with regard to technical measurement, the correctness of the measurement results of all web sites in accordance with defined visit and page impression guidelines, and the thematic allocation of codes to categories. For AGOF, IVW functions as a quality generator, which is why IVW membership is a requirement for participating in the AGOF study.

- AGOF on-site survey
How often will my web site’s audience have to participate in AGOF on-site surveys?
A client that has been drawn as a random sample will be shown the invitation to participate in the survey ten times at maximum. If they have not fully completed the questionnaire after ten invitations they will be deactivated from the survey. If a user completes the questionnaire and states that others use their computer as well, then further invitations will be shown (also a maximum of ten) so that other persons can also be surveyed. In this way, AGOF issues about 7.5 million invitations per quarter. With a total of about 45 billion page impressions generated by all AGOF web sites this corresponds to a quota of 0.175 per mille. A web site that generates about 10 million page impressions a month will show 1,750 invitations for the survey.
