Abstract
In this paper, we want to rank some websites in Iranian universities by three-parameter interval gray numbers instead of linguistic variables. In this paper, we utilize gray numerical taxonomy method. In this comparison six criteria are intended, which include: the size of web pages, ability of observing by others, accessible files, citation, designing and speed of loading. Also we use new method to weighting attributes that is combination of bulls-eye and Shapley value method. In this paper, ten universities were studied.
