Abstract

With the help of Webometrics techniques, we could explore whether or not the Web surfer’s online interest reflects the public opinion off-line. This paper investigates the Chinese Web user’s interest regarding the United States and Japan, and demonstrates that Web server log data could be a good source for us to gauge the public opinion on specific domestic and international issues.
