I have come across the term Webometrics.Actually the term Webmetrics has been used in my application. Are the two terms different from each other. If same could someone explain this term. If different please explain me Webmetrics in detail. I have gone through the wikipedia source but didn't get the concept clearly.

The science of webometrics (also cybermetrics ) tries to measure the World Wide Web to get knowledge about the number and types of hyperlinks, structure of the World Wide Web and usage patterns. According to Björneborn and Ingwersen (2004), the definition of webometrics is "the study of the quantitative aspects of the construction and use of information resources, structures and technologies on the Web drawing on bibliometric and informetric approaches." The term webometrics was first coined by Almind and Ingwersen (1997). Similar scientific fields are Bibliometrics, Informetrics, Scientometrics, Virtual ethnography, and Web mining.
