"The rating metrics is popularity in the social networks, which we estimate by counting number of messages that contain links to the content published in any site related to the mass media. The messages published by the official accounts of the rated brand have been expelled from the research. We handled 75 MM messages published in April in the social networks in Europe. We discovered and expanded all 9,9 MM short links (such as t.co, goo.gl, etc) those messages contained and marked out the top 10 thousand domains, which most links led to."
