The current ranking is based upon an
algorithm including five unbiased and
independent web metrics extracted
from three different search engines: Google Page Rank Alexa Traffic Rank Majestic Seo Referring Domains Majestic Seo Citation Flow Majestic Seo Trust Flow Web metrics data are collected on the
same day to minimize temporal
fluctuations and maximize
comparibility. A pre-computational
filter is adopted to detect outliers in the raw data. Further investigation and a
review of Alexa Traffic Rank data is
carried out for universities adopting a subdomain (highly not recommended) as their official
institutional home page.."
