  The new system, called Nielsen Online Campaign Ratings, presented during Advertising Week, will enable Nielsen to combine data from its own online rating panels with data from third-party contributors like Facebook to more precisely measure how many people—by gender, age, reach and frequency–are viewing ads online.
