Abstract
The goal of this research is to study whether there is a significant correlation between how bilingual municipal Web sites receive links to their two domains in two languages and the extent of these languages among the population in the municipalities. It is shown that the domain in the majority language receive the majority of the links. Statistically significant correlations are found, suggesting that those creating the links are well aware of the language situation in the municipalities and use that knowledge when creating the links. Search engine Yahoo is found to give the most accurate results of link counts to the researched bilingual web space. Yahoo can therefore be recommended for webometric studies where language is a factor.
