What specific links would you use?

www.solidworks.com
www.ptc.com
www.3ds.com
www.ugs.com


Autodesk? That's the 2D guys.

Jon'll have a heyday with this. `;^)

Remember, these are links, not usage or hits. That being said, what are
the chances that the SW links mainly represent people with seats of SW
since every current seat of SW contains a link to the mothership?

 

Remember, these are links

Harvested by bots of some sort, I'd guess?

Wouldn't think so.

 

Does that mean solidworks surfacing is that much easier.

I've looked at a lot of links, that being one. What blew my mind was
that mySQL was in league with the big boyz. So was Linux. But I
digress. ACAD has the most links of any CAD that I could tell. SW was
very respectable considering it is a niche market compared to ACAD.

Notice that almost all the SW links are reported on AllTheWeb and
AltaVista.

 

That looked typical of most of the CAD links. I was surprised that Google
didn't have any and it seems to be the predominant search engine today.

When you search AllTheWeb for www.solidworks.com only a paltry 28,100
hits. Autodesk has 101,000, SolidEdge has 665, and PTC has 33,600.

In Google you can use this syntax: link:www.solidworks.com/

www.solidworks.com 1,260
www.solidedge.com 392
www.autodesk.com 4,410
www.ptc.com 1,120
www.catia.com 124
www.ugs.com 1,120

So apparently the link checker doesn't know about Google's syntax.

AllTheWeb does know about the link: syntax and give SW 25,600 links.

 

Check out warez.com. Wonder what that says? <G>
