Abstract
The Web has become a paradigmatic example of complex network, both from
an empirical and theoretical point of view. Although a multitude of studies
have addressed the issue of its topological structure, comparatively little
is known about the traffic it supports. In this study we relate experimental
traffic data with the topology of the network and the probability for
a node to acquire new links.
In particular we describe how the use of search engines influences
the traffic and what consequences this has or may have on
the mechanisms of Web growth.
