 Interactive (ABCi), has been engaged to conduct audience and traffic audits for the sites, both owned by Mansueto Ventures.

"Mansueto Ventures is committed to being proactive for audience measurement in the online publishing industry," said Ed Sussman, senior vice president of online publishing at Mansueto Ventures. "We want to help shape best practices on the Web."

For example, if a user leaves and comes back to the site five times during the measurement period, that person is counted as one unique visitor, but would count as five "user sessions.  and more. The results will be posted on the ABC Publisher's Statements and Audit Reports for Inc. and Fast Company, as well as on the advertising information page of each Web site.

ABCi conducts census-based audits, which provide a more consistent portrayal of a Web site's traffic than third-party, panel-based measurement systems.

"We believe the best way to confirm site traffic is to allow an outside auditor direct access to Web sites' data," said Sussman. "The senior business leaders who make up our audience often don't want to take the time to participate in panels, which is why we prefer ABCi's census-based audits."

"Advertisers deserve a level of transparency (1) The quality of being able to see through a material. The terms transparency and translucency are often used synonymously; however, transparent would technically mean "seeing through clear glass," while translucent would mean "seeing through frosted glass."
