[Air-L] web demographics

[spinal at rpi.edu]

I am researching children's use of the Internet and looking for
recommendations for websites that offer reliable demographics for web
research. Do demographics available at Alexa or Quantcast, for example,
offer accurate representations of site visitors?  As variables such as
age, gender, etc., can be different than that of an actual website user,
are all web demographics to be considered unofficial estimates?
Thank-you in advance for any suggestions.
