Example methods and apparatus to generate identifying tags for media content as described herein. An example method includes obtaining an identifier value associated with at least one of audio or video of received media content by at least one of: extracting the identifier value from at least one of the audio or the video or determining the identifier value based on inherent information of at least one of the audio or the video, generating a tag including the identifier value, and storing the tag with the media content to cause the tag to be distributed to a presentation location along with the media content.

1. A method to identify media comprising: obtaining, at at least one server associated with a collection facility, a signature associated with at least one of audio or video of received media based on inherent information of at least one of the audio or the video;generating, at at least one server associated with the collection facility, a tag including the signature, the tag to be distributed by a web server to a presentation location along with the media to enable a presentation device to access the signature via the tag;receiving, at at least one server associated with the collection facility via a network, the tag including the signature, the tag sent by monitoring instructions executing at the presentation device, the monitoring instructions transmitted to the presentation device from the web server in association with the media, the presentation location not including a meter to extract the signature from the media presented by the presentation device, wherein the media and the tag are separate data objects; andin response to receiving the tag, storing, at the collection facility, an indication that the media associated with the signature has been presented. 2. A method as defined in claim 1, wherein the signature is at least one of a source identifier or a media asset identifier. 3. A method as defined in claim 1, wherein the signature is a string of numbers. 4. A method as defined in claim 1, wherein the tag includes a plurality of attribute data for the at least one of the audio or the video. 5. A method as defined in claim 4, wherein the tag includes a source identifier and a timestamp. 6. A method as defined in claim 1, wherein the tag is inserted in at least one of metadata separate from and associated with the media or a webpage in which the media is embedded. 7. A method as defined in claim 1, wherein the inherent information is not information inserted for the purpose of identifying the media. 8. A method as defined in claim 7, wherein obtaining the signature includes querying a database with the inherent information to retrieve the signature from the database. 9. A method as defined in claim 7, wherein the tag includes a media asset identifier, a start timestamp, and an end timestamp. 10. A method as defined in claim 1, further including transmitting the media and the tag over the Internet. 11. A method as defined in claim 1, wherein the tag includes an alphanumeric portion indicating that the signature included in the tag is a final distributor source identifier code. 12. A method as defined in claim 1, wherein the meter is provided by an audience measurement entity hosting the collection facility to collect audience measurement data at the presentation location, the method further including determining, via a processor, that the tag has not been previously recorded as invalid. 13. A tangible computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least: obtain a signature of received media based on inherent information of at least one of audio or video of the media;generate a tag including the signature the tag to be distributed by a web server to a presentation location along with the media to enable a presentation device to access the signature via the tag;receive, via a network, the tag including the signature from monitoring instructions executing at the presentation device, the monitoring instructions transmitted to the presentation device from the web server in association with the media, the presentation location not including a meter to extract the signature from the media presented by the presentation device, wherein the media and the tag are separate data objects; andin response to receiving the tag, store, at a collection facility, an indication that the media associated with the signature has been presented. 14. A tangible computer readable storage medium as defined in claim 13, wherein the signature is at least one of a source identifier or a media asset identifier. 15. A tangible computer readable medium as defined in claim 13, wherein the signature is a string of numbers. 16. A tangible computer readable medium as defined in claim 13, wherein the tag includes a plurality of attribute data for the at least one of the audio or the video. 17. A tangible computer readable medium as defined in claim 13, wherein the tag includes a source identifier and a timestamp. 18. A tangible computer readable medium as defined in claim 13, wherein the tag is inserted in at least one of metadata separate from and associated with the media or a webpage in which the media is embedded. 19. A tangible computer readable medium as defined in claim 13, wherein the inherent information is not information inserted for the purpose of identifying the media. 20. A tangible computer readable medium as defined in claim 19, wherein obtaining the signature includes querying a database with the inherent information to retrieve an identifier value from the database. 21. A tangible computer readable medium as defined in claim 19, wherein the tag includes a media asset identifier, a start timestamp, and an end timestamp. 22. An apparatus to identify media comprising: an identity analyzer to obtain a signature associated with at least one of audio or video of received media based on inherent information of at least one of the audio or the video;a tag generator to generate a tag including the signature, the tag to be distributed by a web server to a presentation location along with the media to enable a presentation device to access the signature via the tag; anda collection facility to: receive, via a network, the tag including the signature from monitoring instructions executing at the presentation device, the monitoring instructions transmitted to the presentation device from the web server in association with the media, the presentation location not including a meter to extract the signature from the media presented by the presentation device, wherein the media and the tag are separate data objects; andin response to receiving the tag, store an indication that the media associated with the signature has been presented. 23. An apparatus as defined in claim 22, wherein the tag includes at least one of a source identifier or a media asset identifier. 24. An apparatus as defined in claim 22, wherein obtaining the signature includes extracting a watermark embedded in the at least one of the audio or the video of the received media. 25. An apparatus as defined in claim 22, wherein the signature is a string of numbers. 26. An apparatus as defined in claim 22, wherein the tag includes a plurality of attribute data for the at least one of the audio or the video. 27. An apparatus as defined in claim 22, wherein the tag includes a source identifier and a timestamp. 28. An apparatus as defined in claim 22, wherein the tag is inserted in at least one of metadata separate from and associated with the media or a webpage in which the media is embedded. 29. An apparatus as defined in claim 22, wherein the inherent information is not information inserted for the purpose of identifying the media. 30. An apparatus as defined in claim 29, wherein obtaining the signature includes querying a database with the inherent information to retrieve the signature from the database. 31. An apparatus as defined in claim 29, wherein the tag includes a media asset identifier, a start timestamp, and an end timestamp.
