      Important note: videos are collected based on the description of the video. The video content itself is NOT analyzed.


      The list of covered domains is different for each country, no specific list can be provided. Neticle’s data collection team is continuously working on finding new, relevant pages to expand the circle of currently monitored sites, so that data coverage is as wide as it can be. If you start a new monitoring with Neticle and you have a list of domains that are important for you to be covered, please send us the list in advance so we can check the coverage.


      Manually collected data can also be inserted into any profile individually, and/or in bulk as well, in case it is from a source that cannot be monitored automatically. For manual insertion, we need the following information in an Excel file, for each mention to be inserted:

      • Date of posting
      • Title
      • Text
      • Author
      • Keyword the mention should belong under
      • Language
      • Content type (for example: Facebook post or comment, Article, Frontpage etc.)

      Please download the template Excel file from here and fill it up with the data. Please read through the help sheets carefully before sending the file to us.
