Author: Víctor Yeste. Universitat Politècnica de Valencia.The object of this study is the design of a cybermetric methodology whose objectives are to measure the success of the content published in online media and the possible prediction of the selected success variables.In this case, due to the need to integrate data from two separate areas, such as web publishing and the analysis of their shares and related topics on Twitter, has opted for programming as you access both the Google Analytics v4 reporting API and Twitter Standard API, always respecting the limits of these.The website analyzed is hellofriki.com. It is an online media whose primary intention is to solve the need for information on some topics that provide daily a vast number of news in the form of news, as well as the possibility of analysis, reports, interviews, and many other information formats. All these contents are under the scope of the sections of cinema, series, video games, literature, and comics.This dataset has contributed to the elaboration of the PhD Thesis:Yeste Moreno, VM.

Data dictionary: Page_Title: Title of webpage used for pages of the website www.cityofrochester.gov Pageviews: Total number of pages viewed over the course of the calendar year listed in the year column. Repeated views of a single page are counted. Unique_Pageviews: Unique Pageviews - The number of sessions during which a specified page was viewed at least once. A unique pageview is counted for each URL and page title combination. Avg_Time: Average amount of time users spent looking at a specified page or screen. Entrances: The number of times visitors entered the website through a specified page.Bounce_Rate: " A bounce is a single-page session on your site. In Google Analytics, a bounce is calculated specifically as a session that triggers only a single request to the Google Analytics server, such as when a user opens a single page on your site and then exits without triggering any other requests to the Google Analytics server during that session. Bounce rate is single-page sessions on a page divided by all sessions that started with that page, or the percentage of all sessions on your site in which users viewed only a single page and triggered only a single request to the Google Analytics server. These single-page sessions have a session duration of 0 seconds since there are no subsequent hits after the first one that would let Google Analytics calculate the length of the session. "Exit_Rate: The number of exits from a page divided by the number of pageviews for the page. This is inclusive of sessions that started on different pages, as well as “bounce” sessions that start and end on the same page. For all pageviews to the page, Exit Rate is the percentage that were the last in the session. Year: Calendar year over which the data was collected. Data reflects the counts for each metric from January 1st through December 31st.

The Web Analytics Market in Retail and CPG is experiencing robust growth, projected to reach $1.22 billion in 2025 and maintain a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 18.19% from 2025 to 2033. This expansion is fueled by several key drivers. The increasing need for data-driven decision-making within retail and CPG companies is paramount.

The global market for visitor tracking software tools is experiencing robust growth, driven by the increasing need for businesses to understand online customer behavior and optimize their digital strategies. The market, estimated at $5 billion in 2025, is projected to maintain a healthy Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 15% from 2025 to 2033, reaching an estimated market value of $12 billion by 2033. This growth is fueled by several key factors: the rising adoption of e-commerce, the increasing complexity of online marketing campaigns, the demand for personalized user experiences, and the growing availability of sophisticated analytics tools capable of providing actionable insights from website traffic data. Major trends shaping the market include the integration of AI and machine learning for predictive analytics, the increasing use of heatmaps and session recordings for detailed user behavior analysis, and a growing focus on privacy-compliant data collection methods. However, market growth faces certain restraints. Concerns around data privacy and compliance with regulations like GDPR are impacting adoption rates. Furthermore, the competitive landscape is crowded, with both established players like Google and specialized providers like Crazy Egg vying for market share. The market is segmented by solution type (e.g., website analytics, heatmap tools, session recording), deployment model (cloud-based, on-premise), enterprise size (small, medium, large), and industry vertical. Leading companies such as Crazy Egg, Mixpanel, and FullStory are constantly innovating to improve the accuracy and depth of their offerings, while smaller companies are focusing on niche functionalities to differentiate themselves. The future success of these tools depends heavily on continuing innovation in the areas of data security, user experience, and integration with other marketing platforms.

Google Analytics data for the Queensland Government website (qld.gov.au) (Date range: 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2018)

This dataset contains trace data describing user interactions with the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research website (ICPSR). We gathered site usage data from Google Analytics. We focused our analysis on user sessions, which are groups of interactions with resources (e.g., website pages) and events initiated by users. ICPSR tracks a subset of user interactions (i.e., other than page views) through event triggers. We analyzed sequences of interactions with resources, including the ICPSR data catalog, variable index, data citations collected in the ICPSR Bibliography of Data-related Literature, and topical information about project archives. As part of our analysis, we calculated the total number of unique sessions and page views in the study period. Data in our study period fell between September 1, 2012, and 2016. ICPSR's website was updated and relaunched in September 2012 with new search functionality, including a Social Science Variables Database (SSVD) tool. ICPSR then reorganized its website and changed its analytics collection procedures in 2016, marking this as the cutoff date for our analysis. Data are relevant for two reasons. First, updates to the ICPSR website during the study period focused only on front-end design rather than the website's search functionality. Second, the core features of the website over the period we examined (e.g., faceted and variable search, standardized metadata, the use of controlled vocabularies, and restricted data applications) are shared with other major data archives, making it likely that the trends in user behavior we report are generalizable.
