- Title: "SANReN – South African National Research Network"
- Language: en
- schema.org types: WebSite
- Open Graph metadata: no
- Homepage size: 109 KB, 52 links
- First seen: before 12 October 2026 (not recorded earlier)

## Position in the link graph

The graph holds the active and blocked sites in the census and the links between them: 312,471 sites. Rank 1 is the highest.

- Links in (in-degree): 17 sites in the graph link to it
- Links out (out-degree): it links to 13 sites in the graph
- PageRank rank: 14,590 of 312,471
- PageRank rank without footer-only links: 9,123 of 312,471
- PageRank rank between registered names: 9,760 of 312,471
- Betweenness rank: 993 of 312,471
- Sites reachable by following links: about 56,037 (estimated)
- Community: one of 6,386 sites in its Louvain community

Definitions: in-degree and out-degree count links from and to other sites in the graph. PageRank weighs links by the rank of the sites they come from; every link counts the same, whatever its purpose. Without footer-only links, it leaves out links only ever seen in a page footer. Between registered names, it leaves out links between sites under one registered name, such as x.co.za and shop.x.co.za. Betweenness measures how often a site lies on the shortest paths between others. An island has no links to or from other sites in the graph; an unrecognised site links out but has no links in. A Louvain community is a group of sites more densely linked to each other than to the rest.

Every link of the site, with where on its pages it was seen: links in (18) https://palo.dirishwago.co.za/explore/sanren.ac.za/links-in.md, links out (15) https://palo.dirishwago.co.za/explore/sanren.ac.za/links-out.md

## About these figures

- A domain is a name registered under a .za zone, such as uct.ac.za, with the sites under it, such as lib.uct.ac.za. Its status is the best of its sites': active, then unavailable, then blocked, then dead.
- Only links between .za sites in the census are counted; links from outside .za, social media and search engines are not observed.
- Links added by scripts after a page loads may be missed, and pages Palo has not crawled are not seen.
