Wix.com, Mr. Clean and TurboTax topped a ranking of the most engaging Super Bowl prerelease ads and teasers on social media, while Pepsi had three ads on the list.

The list, compiled by analytics company iSpot.tv, looked at "earned online engagement," made up of online activity, or the digital share of voice compared to other ads; social actions, such as tweets, shares and mentions; and the number of times an ad had been viewed online via Facebook, YouTube and via iSpot.tv, where someone explicitly requested to see a particular ad.

As of January 30, these were the top 10.
