Hi Analytics, Are views of republished Wikimedia content, such as on Google and Youtube, something that we could include in addition to Wikimedia pageview statistics? I imagine that this would require cooperation from Alphabet and other companies that reuse Wikimedia content. It would be nice if we could get that cooperation.
Also, Is this republication taken into account in website traffic rankings? My guess is that the answer is no, and that other types of republication such as embedded Youtube videos are not taken into account for their content provider's site rankings, although I think that Youtube would count views of embedded videos in its own statistics of video views. I am thinking that for Youtube and Wikipedia, and other similar sites for which republication or embedding are common, site rankings which are based on pageviews could significantly underestimate the popularity and influence of the sites.
