Visibilidad de las sedes web de los museos de Cataluña

Abstract

The article presents the results of an analysis of the visibility of all museums websites of Catalonia between 2006 and 2009. Based on data obtained from Yahoo Site Explorer, the study found that overall the number of links received, or backlinks, had increased by 326.28 %. As compared to a referenced group of websites, this represents a very important increase. Additionally, Catalan museum websites were compared to two control groups: websites of the major European museums and websites with a .museum domain that are best positioned in Google and Yahoo. The results show that the best Catalan museum websites have attained a good visibility level internationally, although they still remain at a considerable distance from the best museums in Europe.
