Top 5 Google powered search sites in ARGENTINA?

• ***Hi guys, I am in a jam and need to know this today. I have another question like this, but it has been locked. You must be working hard this :) *** What are the top 5 "linked to" Google powered websites in the country of ARGENTINA? This question requires you to use the "link: www.anysite.com" feature of Google. Criteria for answer: 1. Top 5 Sites you list must be country owned sites not USA sites. The company should have their site in that country only, and the company should located in the country. For example, Yahoo! India would not be a top 5 site eventhough it the most popular Google powered website in India. Also, keep in mind not to include USA companies that run websites in those countries. 2. The website must be google powered. 3. You must provide this these three pieces of data for the answer: the website url, the country name, and the number of google "linked to" results.

• Answer:

  Hi chilebean-ga! I have found that the five top websites with Google powered search engynes in Argentina, (according to google’s “linking to” results), are Ubbi (search engyne), Clarin (newspaper), Ciudad Internet (portal and ISP), Ole (sport newspaper) and Uol-Sinectis (portal and ISP). You should know that Grupo Clarin is a leading company in the country. It owns Clarin Newspaper since 1945 with the highest circulation in the Spanish language. Well, 4 out of the 5 (Ubbi, Clarin, Ciudad Internet and Ole) are products of the Clarin holding. Argentinians may not know that all of them are Clarin products, since there’s a different marketing strategy for each one. The other big website using a powered by Google search engyne is Uol-Sinectis, an horizontal portal. Uol is based in Brasil, but Uol-Sinectis is an Argentinian merge. Buscador Ubbi, powered by Google http://www.ubbi.com/ Searched for pages linking to http://www.ubbi.com (at ://www.google.com ): Results about 1,600. “Clarín Digital, in its constant search for newer and diverse contents, launched «Buscador Ubbi» in 1999 ( http://www.ubbi.com ). It is an Internet search tool that makes surfing easy and fast. It gives access to the most important web sites in every language, but it focuses on those in Spanish and specially Argentine sites”. Diario Clarin http://www.clarin.com/ Searched for pages linking to “clarin.com” (at ://www.google.com ): results about 59,900. “Clarín Digital ( http://www.clarin.com ) is the name of the newspaper in Internet. It was launched in 1996 and was the Group’s first venture into the Web. It quickly became one of the most visited sites by Argentine people, both in Argentina and abroad. Users have access to most of the articles published daily in the main section of Clarín newspaper and its supplements. But it also offers other on-line services, making the best use of audio and video options”. Ciudad Internet http://www.ciudad.com.ar/ Searched for pages linking to http://www.ciudad.com.ar (at ://www.google.com ): results about 2,190. “Internet offers the possibility of accessing a market with unlimited growth potential. Pre-empting the challenges brought about by the digital revolution and the emergence of this «new medium» in communications, in 1997 Grupo Clarín established PRIMA S.A. -Primera Red Interactiva de Medios Argentinos- with a double aim: to become an Internet Service Provider (ISP) and at the same time to develop a gateway with contents in Spanish to act as a «virtual community». To achieve both goals, PRIMA launched Ciudad Internet ( http://www.ciudad.com.ar ). In a very short time, «Ciudad», as it is commonly known to its thousands of visitors, became the ISP with the highest rate of growth in the market”. Diario Ole http://www.diario-ole.com.ar/ Searched for pages linking to: http://www.diario-ole.com.ar/ ( at ://www.google.com ): results about 1,620. “Founded in 1996, Olé is the first and only sports daily newspaper in Argentina. It was created to offer a wider and more comprehensive coverage of every sports activity, with special reference to soccer, which Argentines follow with passionate interest. Today it is one of the newspapers with the highest circulation in the country”. UOL-Sinectis http://www.uol.com.ar/ Searched for pages linking to http://www.uol.com.ar ( at ://www.google.com ) results about 3,300. UOL Inc. – owner of UOL Argentina – alter two years working in Argentina, buys Sinectis, the third argentine ISP. The new company is named “UOL-Sinectis”, one of the leading players of the local market. According to IBOPE / Nielsen y Media Metrix, UOL-Sinectis is the leading portal regarding number of visits. Search strategy: First I searched for all argentinians websites using a powered by Google search engyne: "Powered by google" site:.ar ://www.google.com/search?num=30&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&as_qdr=all&q=Powered+by+google+site%3A.ar Then, using the Google Page-Specific Search for finding pages that link to each website, I found out the top 5 list. If this does not satisfy your question, please ask me for further clarification. Regards, Lrargerich
