Key Resource award is both exclusive and objective. Fewer than one page in one thousand
will ever be selected for inclusion. Further, unlike most awards that rely on the
subjective opinion of "experts," many of whom have only looked at tens or
hundreds of thousands of pages in bestowing their awards, the Links2Go Key Resource award is completely objective and is based on an analysis of
millions of web pages. During the course of our analysis, we identify which links are most
representative of each of the thousands of topics in Links2Go, based on how actual page authors, like yourself, index and organize links on
their pages. " |
