* IVB: The Internet Valley Benchmark (IVB) compares a company’s zone of Web influence to that of its peers and across industries through the use of a standard value. The set level for the IVB is the current zone of Web influence for Internet Valley. Why Internet Valley Benchmark ?

Internet Valley was founded and coined the term Web Influence in 1995.
IV became the first company to provide the online community with full-scale Web Influence related services.
In May 1996, Internet Valley published the first Web Influence list, rating the Top 100 Online Computer Magazines. Since that time, Internet Valley has continued to develop the hyperlink mechanics-based methods and technology to monitor and evaluate the current level of Web Influence. The basic subjects of this research have been the fastest growing sectors of iBusiness. All this time, Internet Valley has provided to the leading members of the Internet community reliable data, trends and statistics.

Leading members of the IT community voiced their opinions regarding Internet Valley's 3-year effort to research Web Influence trends:
- Matthew Rothenberg, director of online content at MacWeek.Com, joint venture of ZDNet and IDG, "We are thrilled by the results of the study..." January 5, 1999
- IBM e-commerce director Scott Gannon: "I think your research is really proven right on. I think you're focused on the right thing..." January 28, 1999

** The zone of Web influence reflects the scale of e-commerce expectations.
One of the basic measures of Web influence is the total number of the external hyperlinks to the company's Web site. For further illustrations of Web influence please see: http://www.netvalley.com/influence.html.
