This ranking is edited by 4icu.org University Web Ranking and based upon an algorithm including three unbiased and independent web metrics extracted from three different search engines: 1) Google Page Rank, 2) Yahoo Inbound Links, and 3) Alexa Traffic Rank.
Web metrics data are collected on the same day to minimize
temporal fluctuations and maximize comparability. A pre-computational filter is
adopted to detect outliers in the raw data. The total number of external
inbound links (or backlinks) pointing to each university website is also
cleaned from duplicate domains based on a statistical sample; unique inbound
links (i.e. links coming from different domains) are in fact a much more
significant and powerful measure of website link popularity. Finally, further
investigation and a review of Alexa Traffic Rank data is carried out for
universities adopting a subdomain (highly not recommended) as their official
institutional home page.
