Fullhouse uses web and mobile analysis and recommendations in our strategy and planning and testing. We research and update this information on a quarterly basis. In conducting our research we found that no single source had all the information we were looking to gather and that non of the sources were completly accurate as they each just track a fraction of a percent of all internet traffic.
