IP - Unique visitors can be measured using a number of methodologies. Traditional Log analysis used IP addresses to identify unique users however this approach over reports people using dialup connections and under reports people using corporate gateways to access the internet.
Cookie - The most common method of evaluating the number of unique visitors to a site is by giving users browsers a cookie that can be used to identify that person as unique. This system is more accurate than IP but there is still the issue of people whole block or delete cookies and also people who use more than one PC to access the internet (business and home) and people who share a login (family PC). However this is the industry standard for reporting unique visitors and Red Sheriffs particular approach to unique cookie tracking is recognized by OPG (Online Publishers Group)
Identified - The only true measure of unique people is to require a login to access the site or place and order. This can be supported by cookies to store login names between sections. This approach will always underreport but does provide the number of unique people who actively interact with you site.

CPM - Cost Per Thousand view. Even if banners are booked by the week you will need to understand the total number of impressions that are likely and the distribution of these impressions over the days of the week and over the hours of the day. Without this it is difficult to accurately predict the effectiveness of the campaign in real time.
CTR – Click Through Rate. What % of people actually clicks on an ad. This is used to access the popularity of a particular creative or placement.
CPC – Cost Per Click. How much each click cost you.
CR – Conversion Rate. What percentage of clicks/visitors took the desired action of the campaign (business outcome)
CPA – Cost Per Action. How much did each action (business outcome cost)
CPO – Cost Per Order. In e-commerce situations the cost per order is a vial measurement.
ROI - Return on Investment. For every dollar you spent how much profit you made. Often this is less than 1 in the case of new customer acquisition.
LTV - Life Time Value. For every dollar spent on customer acquisition and servicing how much profit did you make each period (week/month/year). At the break even point this is equal to 1 and should increase above this as repeat business is generated.
