Drunk Men’s Web Indexing Analysis
April 25, 2009
A happy quack to the reader who sent me a link to Drunk Men’s Web robot analysis. You can find the article here. The data come from 2005 and 2006 and may not be spot on for 2009. The main point of the write up is that the Google does more with its approach to Web crawling. The payoff from PageRank appears to be a way to get around the need to index certain sites as thoroughly as Yahoo. Microsoft’s Web robot does not appear to be on a par with either Google or Yahoo.
