Abstract
The importance of a Web page is an inherently subjective matter, which depends on the readers interests, knowledge and attitudes. But there is still much that can be said objectively about the relative importance of Web pages. This paper describes PageRank, a mathod for rating Web pages objectively and mechanically, effectively measuring the human interest and attention devoted to them. We compare PageRank to an idealized random Web surfer. We show how to efficiently compute PageRank for large numbers of pages. And, we show how to apply PageRank to search and to user navigation.

Truth Discovery with Multiple Conflicting Information Providers on the Web

TL;DR: This paper designs a general framework for the Veracity problem and invent an algorithm, called TRUTHFlNDER, which utilizes the relationships between websites and their information, i.e., a website is trustworthy if it provides many pieces of true information, and a piece of information is likely to be true if it is provided by many trustworthy websites.

Efficient crawling through URL ordering

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study in what order a crawler should visit the URLs it has seen, in order to obtain more "important" pages first, and they show that a good ordering scheme can obtain important pages significantly faster than one without.

HyPursuit: a hierarchical network search engine that exploits content-link hypertext clustering

TL;DR: Experience with HyPursuit suggests that abstraction functions based on hypertext clustering can be used to construct meaningful and scalable cluster hierarchies, and is encouraged by preliminary results on clustering based on both document contents and hyperlink structures.
