The usage is very simple:
1. Fill out the form.
2. Click the "GO" button.
3. Evaluate the research results.
The form consists of two parts. On the left side you
fill in the search phrases, the right side is for the domains. On the bottom
there is a total sites seach phrase, which is used to determine the total
number of sites in that domain.
The "total sites search phrase" is a word (or search phrase) indicating
the existence of a web site and WPC uses it to count the number of web sites
a domain has.
Because this word ("the" is a good choice for English) usually is a "stop word"
you have to put a "+" in front of it.
(A "stop word" is a word which occurs very often in a text (like "the", "a",
"in"). Google usually skips such words
in a search query.)
The result of the submission the form is
a statistic which provides various features.
The following features are available:
The total sites value refers to a domain and represents the number of
web sites containing the
total sites search phrase
(found by Google).
The absolute value shows the total hits of each phrase in each domain.
That is the number of sites in a domain containing the search phrase
(found by Google).
The relative value signifies the relative frequency of a search phrase
refering to a domain.
That is the absolute value divided by the total sites.
The intrasite share is the relative value divided by the sum of all relative values
of this domain multiplied with 100. It is a percentage value that adds up to 100% in
one row of intrasite shares.
The intraphrase share is very common to the
intrasite share except that it sums up the relative values
of the phrase instead of the domain. It adds up to 100% in one column of the intrasite shares.
