Talk:List of articles with a top-ten search engine ranking

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

When a search returns two pages from the same site, do these count as separate entries? From what's already on this site, it looks like people don't know (I see some searches where the wikipedia page is truly the nth entry, and some where it is the nth site). KingTT 06:19, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I haven't been counting it personally. --Alterego 06:41, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)


According to some estimates I've done, about 10-20% of Wikipedia articles are the top-ranked Google hit when ranked using the article title as the search query. Given Wikipedia's current size, that's about 60,000-120,000 articles just in the English version. About 40%-50% have top ten rankings. Obviously, it doesn't make sense to list every article with a top ten ranking on a single page. EGalloway 00:23, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
