[Air-l] counting google hits

[Barry Wellman]

Q: From a librarian:
"Dear Barry: I do not know much about this debate, but I have a
question for you: Please tell me how do you find in google the
hits? what is the procedure? i.e. if I would like to know how
many time the word Caribbean appears in Google, how will I
proceed? Thanks for your help! Nelly"

A:
1. Go to www.google.com
2. type in Carribean
3. Look at the light blue web bar on top of the first list of hits. It
will show you the approximate number of hits:
Example: "Results 1 - 10 of about 38,100,000 for caribbean"
