Abstract
In this paper, we describe a methodology to estimate the geographic coverage of the web without the need for secondary knowledge or complex geo-tagging. This is achieved by randomly selecting toponyms from the Ordnance Survey 50K gazetteer to create search queries and thus gather document counts from various web sources for Great Britain. The same gazetteer is then used to geo-code the results and enable mapping. To validate our approach, and demonstrate the effects of geo/non-geo and geo/geo ambiguity, we mapped the selected toponyms
