Web page accesses do not follow Pareto's Law?: msg#00044culture.hackers.israel
I have a Web site with more than 100 static pages (http://www.zak.co.il/deaf-info/old/ for the curious). Recently I had to modify the most frequently accessed pages of the Web site, according to access statistics accumulated by the Web hosting service. What I found was that Pareto's Law does not seem to be followed. The top 20% pages account for 57% of the Web page hits, and to account for 80% of the Web page hits, you need the top 40%. Thus, the distribution of hits in my Web site is more egalitarian than Pareto's Law (which says that the top 20% account for 80% of whatever they do) would suggest. Is this a general phenomenon for Web sites? Could this be due to caching, proxying, mirroring in remote locations? Is there a theory for this, which is supported by experiments? --- Omer -- Sent from a PC running a top secret test version of Windows 97.
