Marketers can now better measure the synergy between their TV advertising and website traffic using a new TV focused feature on Google Analytics.
According to ClickZ, Google Analytics can now be used to provide real time feedback to advertisers on the traffic that flows to their website immediately after TV ads run, and will even work out the cost of the ad against the number of clicks delivered.
