Our Overall Rating:
Our Summary: The Hun's Yellow Pages has almost iconic status amongst tgps. One of the first, the hun remains extremely popular with one estimate suggesting that over 30,000 people search for it every day. It uses a very simple black on yellow layout.
One disappointment is the lack of content labeling.
TheHun was updated every day and over the week our crawler was active, listed a total of 438.2 Megabytes of pix and 1280.3 Megabytes of movies.
Although it is hard to quantify, the hun has a big reputation, has the pick of all galleries created, and therefore should provide better quality and variety than many tgps.
Thehun.com's main page also links to a page called "the hun's overflow" where more galleries are listed.
TheHun was downloaded at the same time each day from 20050110 to 20050117 from http://www.thehun.com/

 The top of the pack without question. The hun is rated the most popular TGP by both its overture number (972,015) and alexa rank (664). Almost one million people search for it every month. |

 This TGP starts with the heading The Hun's Yellow Pages. Follows is 2 banners, a counter and a joke. The gallery listings are 4 scrolls down. We gave the hun an A because its simple design means it does load very quickly. |

  Thehun uses sentence length text description which mentions whether the page contains pix or movies, however no indication of how many. |
|
 |
 This uses direct hyperlinks and does not change the status bar which is all we need to give thehun.com an A+ |

The hun averaged fresh daily picture galleries of 54.8Megabytes and movies of 160Megabytes. The fresh pix galleries were about average, however its weekly total of fresh movies was 1280.3Megabytes which puts the hun in the top ten |
Below are results from our crawler showing the number of fresh pix and movies each day. For more information and a comparison to other TGPs see the crawl comparison page.
To calculate these tables we collected all the urls where we located a picture or movie. We then compared this to all other TGPs. The Hun has an extremely low percentage of shared content. Most TGPs share 10-20% content with at least a couple of other TGPs. This indicates that the content found at the hun is fairly unique.
