The best-designed web applications have a single point of entry and
all navigation within the site is via links. actually, via active
controls like "submit" buttons that are under the complete control of
the application. With such a correct design, you can easily decide
what to count because the application controls all navigation.

It's tough to categorize an approach which doesn't use hyperlinks
in a web application as "best-designed". It sounds like you're
bringing a desktop application mentality to web-based app design.


Not at all. If you read up on the Model-View-Controller pattern, or
JSF, or Struts, or a host of other places you will find that, indeed,
the best-designed web apps never use hyperlinks for internal
navigation. It's not at all tough to categorize them that way when
you realize that hyperlinks would make the design much more chaotic
and bug-ridden, and the avoidance thereof makes for clean,
maintainable, robust, stable and extensible applications.

What's tough is to categorize the web apps that use hyperlinks
internally as anything but badly done.
