Unless I'm misreading something, that's not even close to accurate.
They claim Amazon had only 1721 links in Wikipedia in November 2006,
but according to Special:Linksearch they had over 19000 links a month
before that and they have over 25000 now.
How do you get Special:Linksearch to give you the count? Just
increase the view size until it fits?
I parsed the external links table (using zcat, as it's over 2 gigs
uncompressed), and managed to extract 14181297 links before my script
broke. I realized a problem though: I'm really only interested in
links from the article namespace, so I've gotta download and parse
another table to get that. Anyway, from my count
www.amazon.com had
22985 links, so I guess my script broke before I got them all. If you
want any more information contact me. Here's my table of the top 20:
