Web traffic statistics for the several City-Parish websites, brla.gov, city.brla.gov, Red Stick Ready, GIS, Open Data etc. Information provided by Google Analytics.

In March 2025, the Walt Disney Company properties were ranked first among the most popular multiplatform web properties in the United States with over 249 million visitors from mobile and desktop connections – popular Disney online properties include Disney Entertainment, which consists of the company's film, television, music, and streaming media assets, and ESPN, among other online services.

By the end of 2023, 60 percent of the top most used news websites in Germany were blocking Google's AI crawler, having been quick to act after the crawlers were launched. The figure was substantially lower in Spain and Poland, and in both cases, news publishers were slower to react, meaning that by the end of 2023 just seven percent of top news sites (print, broadcast, and digital-born) in each country were blocking Google's AI from crawling their content.

The City uses Google Analytics to track data about use of the City's website.

In the six months ending March 2024, the United States accounted for 26.95 percent of traffic to the online search website Google.com. India was ranked second, accounting for 4.52 percent of web visits to the platform, with Brazil coming in third place with 4.35 percent.

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.

This data about nola.gov provides a window into how people are interacting with the the City of New Orleans online. The data comes from a unified Google Analytics account for New Orleans. We do not track individuals and we anonymize the IP addresses of all visitors.

In November 2024, Google.com was the most popular website worldwide with 136 billion average monthly visits. The online platform has held the top spot as the most popular website since June 2010, when it pulled ahead of Yahoo into first place. Second-ranked YouTube generated more than 72.8 billion monthly visits in the measured period. The internet leaders: search, social, and e-commerce Social networks, search engines, and e-commerce websites shape the online experience as we know it. While Google leads the global online search market by far, YouTube and Facebook have become the world’s most popular websites for user generated content, solidifying Alphabet’s and Meta’s leadership over the online landscape. Meanwhile, websites such as Amazon and eBay generate millions in profits from the sale and distribution of goods, making the e-market sector an integral part of the global retail scene. What is next for online content? Powering social media and websites like Reddit and Wikipedia, user-generated content keeps moving the internet’s engines. However, the rise of generative artificial intelligence will bring significant changes to how online content is produced and handled. ChatGPT is already transforming how online search is performed, and news of Google's 2024 deal for licensing Reddit content to train large language models (LLMs) signal that the internet is likely to go through a new revolution. While AI's impact on the online market might bring both opportunities and challenges, effective content management will remain crucial for profitability on the web.

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.

Almost four out of 10 websites in the world that use Google Pay as a check-out option in 2023 originate from the United States. This according to data from an intelligence tool that tracks the adoption of certain technologies. The number for the U.S. is about as much as the number of websites for all of Europe combined. India ranks as the sixth in the country in this ranking. This may be somewhat surprising, given the integration of Google Pay within UPI. Note, however, that this ranking only tracks websites and does not take point-of-sale availability into account.
