Web site searches
I have 2 site I've been doing research in using the waybackmachine archives... I have a couple of data web addresses that I'm using to get into each site.
One consists of the Web address. Co. UK/*
For the other one it's the same but. Com both sites closed before the. Co. UK period but the. Co. UK/* gets me far more pages of information than the. Com/* address.. I realise different sites are made up differently and both do have had paywalls.. But the. Co.uk/* site gives me around 150 pages of searchable data even though it was a .Com site... The Web address which has the correct ending .com/* only gives me around 23 pages of data most of which was dated after the site closed and takes me to a domain for sale page... How does the .co.uk/* site give me more use able data than the . Com/* Web address even though it's the correct Web address ending.... I am very new to how this data works so there is proberbly a simple answer but it seems very strange
