ANNOUNCEMENT FROM UNA VOCE ....Dated 16-July-2000
Your web page entitled "Indult Tridentine Mass Locations: The Global
Registry of Traditional Masses Approved By Legitimate Authority"
<http://www.geocities.com/~caritasdei/index.htm, was selected as a Links2Go "Key Resource" in the Una Voce
Home Page.
How your page was selected
Each quarter, Links2Go samples millions of web pages to determine which pages are most heavily cited by web pages
authors, such as yourself. The most popular pages are downloaded and automatically
categorized by topic. At most 50 of the pages related to a topic are selected as "Key Resources."
Out of 50 pages selected as Key Resources for the Una Voce topic, your page ranked 25th. For topics
like Music, where there are a large number of interested authors and related pages, it is
harder to achieve selection as a Key Resource than for a special-interest topic, such as Quantum Physics.
The Links2Go Key Resource award differs from other awards in two important ways. First, it is objective. Most awards rely on hand
selection by one or more "experts," many of whom have only
looked at tens or hundreds of thousands of pages in bestowing their awards. Selection for these awards means no more than that one
person, somewhere, noticed your page and liked it enough to select it.
The Key Resource award, on the other hand, is based on an analysis of millions of web pages. Any group or organization
who conducts a similar analysis will arrive at similar conclusions. When Links2Go
says your page is a Key Resource, we mean that your page is one of the most relevant pages
related to a particular topic on the web today, using an objective statistical measure applied to an
extremely large data set.
Second, the Key Resource award is exclusive. We get literally hundreds of people requesting that their page be added to one
or more topics per week. All of these requests are denied. The only way to get listed as a Key Resource is to achieve enough
popularity for our analysis to select your pages automatically. We do not accept fees, offers of link exchanges, free
advertising, or bartered livestock as inducements to add new sites to our lists.
Fewer than one page in one thousand will ever be selected as a Key Resource.
Do I need to do anything?
You do not need to take any action to qualify for the award. Your page has already been selected and is already listed as a Key
Resource. Pages that rank near the top of the list of Key Resources will almost certainly remain Key Resources on
subsequent rebuilds of the index. Pages that are ranked near the bottom of the list
may be "knocked off" the list or be assigned to different topics on later rebuilds. No action you take, other than
steps to increase the popularity of your web pages, will have any effect on future
selection.
If, however, you wish to display an award graphic on your web page
this is at your sole discretion. If you choose not to display the award
for any reason, it will have no effect on later selection.
Once again, congratulations on your award!
