Dynamics of the Chilean web structure

Abstract

In this paper we present a large scale study on the evolution of the Web structure of the Chilean domain (.cl) from 2000 to 2004, focusing on the Web site transitions in the structure. This is the study of the largest time span and the most detailed of its kind. Our results show that there are many stable Web sites, but also a majority of chaotic changes. We also present the first known results on the death behavior of Web sites.
