| Abstract(in English) | Search engines are necessary to find information from the Internet. There is an investigation report that users recognize that information from search engines' results is as believable as information from television. That is, we can understand a part of the influence which a certain site gives to the society by examining search engine rankings. In this paper, to examine the influence of Wikipedia, that has become the pronoun of the encyclopedia in the Internet, we have conducted the experiments. We collected ranking positions of the articles in the Japanese version of Wikipedia by using search engines' APIs. Among all articles in the Japanese version of Wikipedia, about 90% of articles were ranked in top 10 by Yahoo! JAPAN and Google, and about 70% were ranked in top 10 by MSN. In the case of Yahoo! JAPAN and MSN, newly created articles in Wikipedia tend to appear in top 10 ranking at first, and keep their high rankings. The influence of Wikipedia toward search engine rankings was confirmed by our experiments. |
