Most-Clicked Financial Newsletters & Research Desks
Which desks readers actually leave this index to visit, counted from outbound clicks rather than from anyone's opinion. This is a behavioural measure and it is deliberately kept separate from the Research Authority Score: popularity is not the same thing as rigour, and a desk cannot buy its way onto this page at any tier.
Not enough data to rank yet
This page publishes a ranking only once there is a sample large enough to mean something. Until then it says so, rather than inventing a leaderboard — a traffic ranking with no traffic behind it would contradict the methodology this index is built on.
Measurement runs continuously from the moment this page shipped. In the meantime, the ranked alternatives are the score-based ones: ranked shortlists, most searched, or the full directory.
How this is measured
- —A click is counted when a reader follows an outbound link from a directory card or profile to a publication's own site. Visits, impressions and internal navigation are not counted.
- —Measurement is aggregate and identifier-free: no IP addresses, no cookies and no session ids are stored, only a publication slug and a count.
- —This is a distinct signal from the Research Authority Score, which weights primary-source rigour, niche depth, track record, institutional adoption and transparency. A high click count does not raise a score, and a paid placement does not raise a click count.
