To summarise, the article talks about the websites that provide information on standard compensation packages for your position and role. Using this information, it should be easier to negotiate your pay with a fact-based approach rather than "feelings-based" approach. The sites profiled are —
Salary.com (Data available only for US)
Payscale.com (International)

I have used Payscale.com. My comments on this concept on my blog."

The rest of us want to know if we're earning what we deserve, or at least that we're making what others who do similar jobs make. That's why sites that provide pay-scale information and salary calculators are becoming all the more popular. The New York Times has a roundup on them this weekend, and that account is the paper's "most e-mailed" item.
