Webometrics is the study of services to their users. the quantitative aspects of the construction and use of information resources, structures and technologies on the Web, drawing on bibliometric and informetric Webometrics and Web Impact Factor approaches2. It covers research of all network based communication using informetric or other quantitative Different metrics studies in library and information measures. Webometrics, in future, may become one science such as librametrics, bibliometrics, of the most interesting research areas for the vast scientometrics and informetrics are well known. The recent years have witnessed the emergence of collection of electronic information available on the 9 publicly indexable web3. Paisley4 rightly identified webometrics or cybermetrics . Bibliometric tools and this area as the future domain of bibliometric techniques have been used to provide an research. understanding of the dynamics of disciplines, developing policy and justifying research funding. University websites introduce universities, their Since 1996, increasing efforts have been made to related institutions and departments, resources and investigate the web as a significant scholarly medium services, faculty members, students, alumni and so on. for science and scholarship by applying bibliometrics It is beyond doubt that one of the important factors for techniques10.

The author stated that because of the hierarchical structure of the web, WIF should be The external WIF: The ratio of links made from calculated at three levels and also believed that well- external sites to the target site, to the number of pages known search engines such as Alltheweb, AltaVista, at the site. and Hotbot can be used for data gathering and calculating WIF. In general, a web site with a higher impact factor may be considered to be more prestigious or of a higher In another study, two types of websites in Australia quality than those web sites with a lower impact had been compared: Australian universities websites factor. and Australian electronic journals.

Now every institution is using branding as its marketing tool to attract customers. Branding does not mean a logo or graphic element nowadays. Strong branding helps companies to get loyal customers. Effective branding creates trust, recognition, and popularity for companies among people. A university with a well-reputed brand has several advantages. It can easily attract students. The main objective of this paper is to determine how the branding of a private university influences student's choice of selection. For doing this, there are many relationships between branding and consumer decision making processes are mentioned.

Zabed Ahmed, PhD Professor and Chair Department of Information Science and Library Management, University of Dhaka, Dhaka-1000 CERTIFICATE This is to certify that the thesis entitled “A Webometric Analysis of Private university Websites in Bangladesh” submitted by Sajia Sultana, for the degree of Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in the Department of Information Science and Library Management, University of Dhaka, is her original work carried out under my supervision and guidance, and is worthy of examination. Dr. S.M. Zabed Ahmed Supervisor Abstract There have been many research studies conducted on webometrics, especially on the impact of websites and the web impact factor. This current research analyzes the private university websites in Bangladesh according to some common webometrics indicators. It examines and explores 54 private university websites in Bangladesh and identifies the number of web pages and link pages, and calculates their Simple Web Impact Factor, Self-link Web Impact Factor and External link Web Impact Factor. The results indicate that some private universities have relatively high number of web pages, but correspondingly their link pages are low in number and the websites fall behind in their simple, self-link and external link web impact factors. It is also found that the external link web pages provide more than other link pages.
