This book deals with the basics of webometrics from its definition to its various application areas and ways of conducting webometric research. Various avenues of this subject domain have been cogently manifested in the chapters and sub sections of this book. The first introductory chapter describes the basic information on webometrics for the beginners. The second chapter upholds the brief history of this subject domain. The next chapter deals with the main ways of conducting webometrics research i.e. the areas related to search engine optimization (SEO) including web link analysis, content analysis etc.; web impact factor (WIF) analysis; alternative document models (ADM), web citation analysis and the like. Various tools and techniques of this metrical analysis (i.e. webometrics) have been discussed in this chapter. The final concluding chapter draws a fitting finale to this book with a focus on the criticism and future direction of this subject domain. In realizing the basics of webometrics this book is genuinely going to help the students of computer science as well as library and information science.
