A number of people have asked how I did my 'quick and dirty' survey. I searched the Internet using Alta Vista's search engine for links to a particular site, excluding pages from a particular url. You can see an example if you enter the following text string into your browsers 'location' field, and hit the return key: http://altavista.digital.com/cgi-bin/query?pg=aq&what=web&fmt=n&q=link%3Ahtt p%3A%2F%2Fucmp1.berkeley.edu+and+not+url%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fucmp1.berkeley.edu&r =&d0=&d1= The list of Natural History Museums for which I compiled information took me about 30 minutes to do. It is very simple and easy. Go to Alta Vista http://altavista.digital.com/ Find all links to your site, excluding pages from your own site. link:http://my.site.com/ AND NOT url:http://my.site.com/ in Advanced Query, or +link:http://my.site.com/ -url:http://my.site.com/ in Simple Query. To speed up the search, you can leave out the very common words http and com. Remember, this doesn't give a measure of the number of 'hits' or requests for data that a particular server gets, it is a measure of the number of links to a particular site from other sites.
