The dataset contains information about web requests to a single website. It's a time series dataset, which means it tracks data over time, making it great for machine learning analysis.

According to the results of a survey conducted worldwide in 2023, nearly **** of responding digital marketers believed artificial intelligence (AI) would have a positive impact on website search traffic in the next five years. Some ** percent stated AI would have a neutral effect, while ** percent agreed that the technology would negatively impact search traffic.

From October 2024 to February 2025, ChatGPT outperformed competing AI-powered search engines in traffic referral, achieving a total growth of 155.52 percent. Perplexity placed second, despite experiencing more significant fluctuations, with a total growth of 54.78 percent by the conclusion of the analyzed period. With a 43.64 percent overall growth, Google's Gemini ranked third among other engines and maintained the most consistent traffic referral rate. Artificial intelligence-driven trends, notably AI-powered search, are changing online traffic patterns. This suggests a more significant change in the way users find information online and is expected to have a knock-on effect on the digital advertising sector.

Data

Encrypted network traffic was collected on an isolated computer visiting different Wikipedia and New York Times articles, different Google search queres (collected in the form of their autocomplete results and their results page), and different actions taken on a Virtual Reality head set.

Data for this experiment was stored and analyzed in the form of a txt file for each experiment which contains:

First number is a classification number to denote what website, query, or vr action is taking place.

The remaining numbers in each line denote:

The size of a packet,

and the direction it is traveling.

negative numbers denote incoming packets

positive numbers denote outgoing packets

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

This dataset originates from DataCamp. Many users have reposted copies of the CSV on Kaggle, but most of those uploads omit the original instructions, business context, and problem framing. In this upload, I’ve included that missing context in the About Dataset so the reader of my notebook or any other notebook can fully understand how the data was intended to be used and the intended problem framing.

Note: I have also uploaded a visualization of the workflow I personally took to tackle this problem, but it is not part of the dataset itself. Additionally, I created a PowerPoint presentation based on my work in the notebook, which you can download from here:

Received: Today
Subject: New project from the product team

Hey!

I have a new project for you from the product team. Should be an interesting challenge. You can see the background and request in the email below.

I would like you to perform the analysis and write a short report for me. I want to be able to review your code as well as read your thought process for each step. I also want you to prepare and deliver the presentation for the product team - you are ready for the challenge!

They want us to predict which recipes will be popular 80% of the time and minimize the chance of showing unpopular recipes. I don't think that is realistic in the time we have, but do your best and present whatever you find.

You can find more details about what I expect you to do here. And information on the data here.

I will be on vacation for the next couple of weeks, but I know you can do this without my support. If you need to make any decisions, include them in your work and I will review them when I am back.

Good Luck!

From: Product Manager - Recipe Discovery
To: Head of Data Science
Received: Yesterday
Subject: Can you help us predict popular recipes?

Hi,

We haven't met before but I am responsible for choosing which recipes to display on the homepage each day. I have heard about what the data science team is capable of and I was wondering if you can help me choose which recipes we should display on the home page?

At the moment, I choose my favorite recipe from a selection and display that on the home page. We have noticed that traffic to the rest of the website goes up by as much as 40% if I pick a popular recipe. But I don't know how to decide if a recipe will be popular. More traffic means more subscriptions so this is really important to the company.

Can your team: - Predict which recipes will lead to high traffic? - Correctly predict high traffic recipes 80% of the time?

We need to make a decision on this soon, so I need you to present your results to me by the end of the month. Whatever your results, what do you recommend we do next?

Look forward to seeing your presentation.

Data Information

The product manager has tried to make this easier for us and provided data for each recipe, as well as whether there was high traffic when the recipe was featured on the home page.

As you will see, they haven't given us all of the information they have about each recipe.

You can find the data here.

I will let you decide how to process it, just make sure you include all your decisions in your report.

Don't forget to double check the data really does match what they say - it might not.
