To find their sample, Nielsen selects a county, then specific towns within that county, then specific homes within the designated area. They reach out and ask each of the chosen homes to participate in the program.

Is it legitimate? Yes. Nielsen sends mail to homes with invitations to complete short surveys on your media and consumer habits or to join our panels. Mail from Nielsen may include a survey that can be completed online, filled out and returned via mail, or done over the phone.

The Viewing Data In addition to the data from these official Nielsen homes, the agency uses paper surveys during the sweeps periods in February, May, July, and November. With this method, they gather mail-in viewing information from thousands of households outside the 56 largest U.S. media markets.

Will Nielsen try to sell me anything, or sell my name and address to marketers? Absolutely not. The information from your home is held strictly confidential—we will not use it to advertise, promote or sell goods and services directly to you, and we do not allow our clients to sell directly to you.

Nielsen is legit. They take their reputation seriously because they are the major source of tv ratings. If their legitimacy or methods were ever doubted they would be risking a lot.

Nielsen Streaming Platform Ratings uses people-powered panels and proprietary metering technology to measure what content is streamed, the device used to stream (smart TVs, connected devices, video game consoles) and the streaming source application.

Nielsen's streaming data is derived from a subset of Streaming Meter-enabled TV households within the National TV panel. The linear TV sources (broadcast and cable), as well as total usage are based on viewing from Nielsen's overall TV panel. All the data is time period based for each viewing source.

I just received a letter in the mail today from the Nielsen Company informing me that I've been chosen to participate in there program. The Nielsen Consumer Survey asks about the activities you like, your shopping, travel and entertainment preferences, and your media choices.Nielsen Families are people who allow us to measure what they watch on TV and listen to on the radio. We take what we learn from them and produce the ratings. There are a few pros to being a Neilsen family, but it's mostly just annoying. Pros: Each member in the household gets a monthly check. I was unaware of the act until he asked me, "Why would Nielson send us a letter with two dollar bills in it? If you get a letter from the audience ratings company Nielsen, don't throw it awaythere's money inside. For a brief time last year I was a member of a Nielsen family. Remember the Nielsen National Consumer Panel opportunities that I have mentioned in the past?!
