A Webometric Analysis on Websites of Some Selected Tertiary Institutions in Yobe State, Nigeria

Abstract

Web presence analysis is a well-known area within webometrics. It usually uses counts of total in-links involving sets of web sites. These total in-links counts are obtained from commercial search engines called Goggle being the only alternative for some studies. URL citation counts and Title mention counts total in-links of some selected tertiary institutions in Yobe state are compared as a web-based indicator.  Both URL citation and Title Mention indicates that there is a relationship between their webometric results. The results further showed that there is a relatively lower than expected level of total in-links in some institutions using both URL citation and Title Mention.
