I've been collecting ways to collect links to a site, I'd love to know of
any others that people can suggest. Using the prm.ox.ac.uk domain as an
example, here are links from Reddit, English Wikipedia and Pinterest to the
Pitt Rivers Museum:
Reddit
http://www.reddit.com/domain/prm.ox.ac.uk/
Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALinkSearch&target=*.prm.ox.ac.uk
Depending on your topic coverage you may want to look at other language
Wikipedias.
Pinterest
http://www.pinterest.com/source/prm.ox.ac.uk
This page suggests that the Google Art Project has 30,000 user galleries
http://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/user-galleries?projectId=art-project
which may sound impressive until you consider Google's huge marketing and
SEO reach, and the fact that so many users would already have some sort of
Google account so the sign-up/login barrier is minimised.
