| NEW YORK Consumers, feeling less confident economically, are eating out less and downgrading to cheaper brands, marketers are slashing spending, and agencies are cutting or freezing their head counts. Such was the bleak, if not unexpected, picture that emerged from three separate research reports last week. The findings came as no surprise, given mounting losses in major industries (automobile, financial services), the rising prices of commodities and the historically close correlation between ad spending and the country's gross domestic product. Still, they contrasted starkly with the more optimistic collective mantra -- "We're seeing no signs of significant spending declines" -- that Interpublic, WPP, Omnicom and Publicis Groupe have stuck to since the economy began unraveling late last year.

| NEW YORK (AP) — Online advertising jumped 25 percent this year, raking in a cool $20 billion, but Internet executives say that figure could have been even higher if advertisers had reliable and consistent ways to measure online audiences. Unlike traditional media, where each format has one main ratings provider — The Nielsen Co. for television, Arbitron Inc. for radio and so on — there are many sources of data on online audiences. And they frequently conflict. Disagreement also continues over which criteria best gauge users' potential interest in a product or service.

| TODAY AND FRIDAY, IN WHAT is billed as a town hall meeting, representatives from both sides of the online privacy issue will attend the Federal Trade Commission's workshop on the increasing use of tracking technology to target online ads. Several privacy groups this week called for a "Do Not Track" list similar to the popular "Do Not Call" list that would prevent advertisers from tracking consumers' online movements. Computer users should be notified when their surfing is tracked by online advertisers and Web publishers, argue the Consumer Federation of America, the World Privacy Forum and the Center for Democracy and Technology, among other groups in the coalition that brought forth the idea. Dan Jaffe, executive vice president/government relations for the Association of National Advertisers, calls the movement "a slogan rather than a well-thought-out concept."
