As of the analysis on 20 October 2026, 12:22 SAST. Data licence: CC BY 4.0; credit "Palo, Dirišwago (palo.dirishwago.co.za)".

## Summary

scholar.google.co.za is in the census. Status: active when Palo last checked it, on 19 October 2026 (the homepage answered with a page, directly or after redirects). 75 sites in the census link to it (73 of them in the analysed graph), and it links to 1 site.

Website: https://scholar.google.co.za/

## Recorded about the site

Text in quotation marks is what the site declares about itself, quoted as data.

- Title: "Google Scholar"
- Description: "Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. Search across a wide variety of disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions."
- Language: none declared
- Open Graph metadata: no
- Homepage size: 130 KB, 54 links
- First seen: before 12 October 2026 (not recorded earlier)
- Listed by: Common Crawl (crawl CC-MAIN-2026-39); a link from a crawled .za site; the list kept by Palo's earlier worker until October 2026 (from Common Crawl CC-MAIN-2025-18 or certificate transparency logs)

## Position in the link graph

The graph holds the active and blocked sites in the census and the links between them: 212,938 sites. Rank 1 is the highest.

- Links in (in-degree): 73 sites in the graph link to it
- Links out (out-degree): it links to 1 site in the graph
- PageRank rank: 967 of 212,938
- PageRank rank without footer-only links: 567 of 212,938
- PageRank rank between registered names: 843 of 212,938
- Betweenness rank: 34,608 of 212,938
- Sites reachable by following links: about 1 (estimated)
- Community: one of 4,222 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.

## Links in: 75 sites

Sites in the census whose crawled pages link to scholar.google.co.za, by PageRank rank (unranked last); 1 to 50 of 75. "Seen in" is where on the linking pages the link appears.

## About these figures

- Only links between .za sites in the census are in the graph; 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.
