Somewhat random fact: comment solutions like IntenseDebate and Disqus incorporate Quantcast into their js, so you are indirectly getting counted by such services if you use IntenseDebate, etc. I searched for an out-clause, but found none.
- michaelbuckbee 16y agoCould you please expand upon the implications of this? It is unclear to me whether this is positive or negative aspect for the different entities involved: the commenting apps, Quantcast and the website they are embedded on.
- snewe 16y agoI checked my quantcast stats a few weeks back after taking off their js months ago. I noticed that they still had a good picture of views/etc and wondered why. It appears that they were getting info from Intense Debate. I originally took the Quantcast code off my site b/c it slowed things down and despite having fairly accurate counts, it had skewed demographics. I didn't want to encourage them, so I took off the script. However, my use of IntenseDebate meant that I was still using it. I don't think IntenseDebate is doing anything wrong, but I would like an opt-out.
