About the data
What Risetive tracks for products across AI markets — traffic, keywords, backlinks, pricing and market — how often each is refreshed, and how to read the figures.
What is tracked
Every tracked product carries the same six things, and each one is shown with the date it was last written.
TrafficEstimated monthly visits, global and US, with the month-over-month change. |
KeywordsThe search terms a site ranks for, the position it holds, the monthly search volume behind each term, and what advertisers pay for a click on it. |
BacklinksThe domains linking to a site, and for each of those domains whether you can get listed on it: free, paid, or an editor decides. |
MonetisationWhether a site charges, and what it charges. Every verdict links the exact page it was formed from, so you can open it and check. |
CategoryOne of fifty, by what a product does for its user rather than what it is built with. The list is written by hand; which one a site lands in is not, and it is settled once rather than re-decided every week. A site we cannot place stays uncategorised. |
LivenessWhether a site is still operating. Sites that stop are marked, never deleted, so a category’s history stays readable. |
How current it is
DailyDiscovery. A newly accepted product can be in the corpus within a day. |
WeeklyTraffic, across the whole corpus. It is the figure that moves fastest, so it is the one refreshed most. |
MonthlyKeywords, backlinks and monetisation, on a rolling quarter of the corpus each week. |
Every page footer carries the date its data was last written, and the live coverage figures are on the coverage page.
Domain Rank
Domain Rank (DR) measures a domain's link strength — the higher it is, the more a backlink from that domain is worth. It is logarithmic: the distance from 20 to 30 is far smaller than the distance from 70 to 80. It is stored at full precision and shown on a 0 to 100 scale to one decimal place; sorting and filtering use the stored value, so two sites showing the same number may still order correctly against each other.
Public research and account access
Research detail pages and feeds are public. Rankings open on their first page; a free account opens deeper pages. Current free access is unchanged by the planned Pro offer. See Pricing for its benefits and availability.
How to read the figures
Traffic is modelled rather than measured — nobody outside a site can measure its analytics — so it is best read as an order of magnitude and a direction of travel. That is what the est. marker beside every traffic figure means.
Where something genuinely could not be determined, it is shown as such rather than filled in with a guess. An unknown never quietly becomes a “no”. Keeping the two apart is what lets you trust the values that are there.
