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.

SpamRank -- Fully Automatic Link Spam Detection.

TL;DR: A novel method based on the concept of personalized PageRank that detects pages with an undeserved high PageRank value without the need of any kind of white or blacklists or other means of human intervention is proposed.

Mining anchor text for query refinement

TL;DR: It is shown that the usage of anchor text as a basis for query refinement produces high quality refinement suggestions that are significantly better in terms of perceived usefulness compared to refinements that are derived using the document content.

Scaling link-based similarity search

TL;DR: The experimental results suggest that the hyperlink structure of vertices within four to five steps provide more adequate information for similarity search than single-step neighborhoods.

Ranking a stream of news

TL;DR: A ranking framework which models the process of generation of a stream of news articles, the news articles clustering by topics, and the evolution of news story over the time is proposed and can be obtained without a predefined sliding window of observation over the stream.

The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine.

Sergey Brin, +1 more
- 01 Jan 1998 - 
TL;DR: Google as discussed by the authors is a prototype of a large-scale search engine which makes heavy use of the structure present in hypertext and is designed to crawl and index the Web efficiently and produce much more satisfying search results than existing systems.

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.

The quest for correct information on the Web: hyper search engines

TL;DR: This paper presents a novel method to extract from a web object its “hyper” informative content, in contrast with current search engines, which only deal with the “textual’ informative content.
