General data recollected for the studio " Analysis of the Quantitative Impact of Social Networks on Web Traffic of Cybermedia in the 27 Countries of the European Union". Four research questions are posed: what percentage of the total web traffic generated by cybermedia in the European Union comes from social networks? Is said percentage higher or lower than that provided through direct traffic and through the use of search engines via SEO positioning? Which social networks have a greater impact? And is there any degree of relationship between the specific weight of social networks in the web traffic of a cybermedia and circumstances such as the average duration of the user's visit, the number of page views or the bounce rate understood in its formal aspect of not performing any kind of interaction on the visited page beyond reading its content? To answer these questions, we have first proceeded to a selection of the cybermedia with the highest web traffic of the 27 countries that are currently part of the European Union after the United Kingdom left on December 31, 2020. In each nation we have selected five media using a combination of the global web traffic metrics provided by the tools Alexa (https://www.alexa.com/), which ceased to be operational on May 1, 2022, and SimilarWeb (https:// www.similarweb.com/). We have not used local metrics by country since the results obtained with these first two tools were sufficiently significant and our objective is not to establish a ranking of cybermedia by nation but to examine the relevance of social networks in their web traffic. In all cases, cybermedia whose property corresponds to a journalistic company have been selected, ruling out those belonging to telecommunications portals or service providers; in some cases they correspond to classic information companies (both newspapers and televisions) while in others they refer to digital natives, without this circumstance affecting the nature of the research proposed.
Below we have proceeded to examine the web traffic data of said cybermedia. The period corresponding to the months of October, November and December 2021 and January, February and March 2022 has been selected. We believe that this six-month stretch allows possible one-time variations to be overcome for a month, reinforcing the precision of the data obtained. To secure this data, we have used the SimilarWeb tool, currently the most precise tool that exists when examining the web traffic of a portal, although it is limited to that coming from desktops and laptops, without taking into account those that come from mobile devices, currently impossible to determine with existing measurement tools on the market. It includes:

Web traffic general data: average visit duration, pages per visit and bounce rate Web traffic origin by country Percentage of traffic generated from social media over total web traffic Distribution of web traffic generated from social networks Comparison of web traffic generated from social netwoks with direct and search procedures

The Alternative Data Market size was valued at USD 7.20 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 126.50 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 50.6 % during the forecasts period. The use and processing of information that is not in financial databases is known as the alternative data market.

It is mostly used in financial field to make the investment decisions, managing risks and analyzing competitors, giving a more general view on market trends as well as consumers’ attitude. It has been found that there is increasing requirement for the obtaining of data from unconventional sources as firms strive to nose ahead in highly competitive markets. Some current trend are the finding of AI and machine learning to drive large sets of data and the broadening utilization of the so called “Alternative Data” across industries that are not only the finance industry. Recent developments include: In April 2023, Thinknum Alternative Data launched new data fields to its employee sentiment datasets for people analytics teams and investors to use this as an 'employee NPS' proxy, and support highly-rated employers set up interviews through employee referrals. , In September 2022, Thinknum Alternative Data announced its plan to combine data Similarweb, SensorTower, Thinknum, Caplight, and Pathmatics with Lagoon, a sophisticated infrastructure platform to deliver an alternative data source for investment research, due diligence, deal sourcing and origination, and post-acquisition strategies in private markets. , In May 2022, M Science LLC launched a consumer spending trends platform, providing daily, weekly, monthly, and semi-annual visibility into consumer behaviors and competitive benchmarking.
