Web Reporting Page Descriptions
If there is overlap between the contents of old and new categories, you may need to examine report
results more carefully to obtain valid statistics. For example, if the “Instant Messaging” and “Web-based
Chat” categories have been merged into a single “Chat and Instant Messaging” category during the time
frame that you are looking at, visits before the merge to sites covered by the “Instant Messaging” and

for the “Instant Messaging” or “Web-based Chat” categories.
