There are many patches of almost-identical sites.

Some of them are due to many people using the same theme.

Some of them are expired or parked domains, which I reckon should be detected and excluded.

Yeah those clusters are interesting. They stand out, so they are the first thing I zoomed in on, then I realized they're all just stock resume sites. Quickly realize the clusters are something to avoid. Turns out to be an effective visualization method.

Teeming masses of sites using what probably seems to the authors as a fresh, unconventional look but ends up being Yet Another.

  • I doubt anyone selecting a popular theme is confused by the fact that it’s popular. I use the default Mediawiki theme for mine, for instance.
