Thoughts:

For the 1st time since the invention of the shop sign, there is a direct way to count how many people see the ads and how many of them respond in some positve way. The resutls aren't even close to the typical guesses used in the advertising game to sell ads. So, they simply say the web stats are wrong and go back to their old ways that say more commercials are needed. Too bad the real stats show that consumers are overstaturated and ignore most ads. The problem is that consumers don't buy ads.

It is the large comapines that buy the ads and they don't know if its going to work or not. That means the compaines trust the ad providers to provide useful stats and then trust them even if it disagrees with market data. It is like giving your accountant all your money and asking them if any is missing. Basically, companies are putting themselves at the mercy of the ad agency. If you think some of the professional website tracking software is broken, take a look at traditional ads (tv, radio, print, billboard, etc.).
