Many Internet users claim that search engines make web pages even more popular, to the detriment of more recent ones. However, scientists from the United States and Germany have come to the conclusion that this conviction is unfounded in an investigation.
The main argument for those who believe that search engines deceive is that one of the parameters that search engines use to perform the search counts the links that the website has. In this way, the website with numerous links is in a more suitable position in the result of the search. This allows you to have more links to the web. The hierarchy created by this supposed crazy circle has been called "Google-arkia".
To analyze the legitimacy of this conviction, the number of users and links that have web pages has been compared. To make this comparison they have designed their own model, since the data processing models used so far are not valid. In this design, new factors have been analyzed, such as the words used in the search, the way in which the search engines search for and classify the results and use made by users of this information.
The results have clarified that the relationship between the number of links and the number of users of web pages is linear. That is, the number of visitors that has a web page is proportional to the number of links. This means that there is no reason to think that the number of links is redirected to certain web pages.
