Home What is a Google Number? The GoogleNumber is the number of steps it takes to reach Google, starting at the Website. If example.org links to somesite.net, which in turn uses the Google ad syndication system, the GoogleNumber of example.org would be 2: It takes two steps (from the starting site example.org through somesite.net) to reach a Google site. |
AboutAbout SixdegreesofgoogleSixdegreesofgoogle questions the omnipresence of Google. Once only a search engine, Google is now engaged in nearly every conceivable online venture. With advertising, location finding services, and free net access, Google's business model long evolved beyond providing search services for the WWW and other informational systems. As all search engines, Google has tremendous influence on the development of websites and online media - if you aren't found in one of the major search engines, you do not exist. The current development in Google's business model will further strengthen Googles dominance as information provider. As opposed to other critical Internet services (like DNS or communication protocols), search engines and directory services are under no public control; They are private businesses without any obligations to the public. Sixdegreesofgoogle visualizes the role Google is playing on the Internet by showing that just about any site on the net links to them in one way or the other. About site dataThe Google Numbers found in the database are collected by users with the help of the GoogleNobot. Since May 2006, additional data is added by automatically processing the Open Directory Project's RDF dump, which is subject to the Open Directory License. Attribution to the Open Directory:
