PAGERANK ALGORITHM
Presentation by
GROUP 8
Introduction
It represent the behavior of website visitors and get probability of random user
visiting a page.
This is not infinite process as the user will get bored after an interval
Rank is determined by the pages which link to the one in
consideration
Page Rank of a page is influenced by the Page Rank of the
pages pointing to it.
Hub Rank: It is the rank of a hub that leads to an Authority.
A good Hub is one which directs the user quickly towards
authority and omits the connecting Hubs.
Authority Rank: It is the rank of a source, more hubs
pointing toward an Authority, better the Authority Rank.
Page’s PR is directly proportional to the number of inbound
links
PR cannot be distributed for web pages with no outbound
link. These are called Dangling links.
Formula
It has a significant advantage over other website ranking algorithms in that it
begins the ranking process while the webpage is at the crawling stage. As a result,
consumer inquiries are responded to more quickly.
PageRank takes into account data from all around the internet, reducing the
impact of localized links.
Since the algorithm considers the links between websites, popular and important
sites are ranked higher
The computation is performed at crawl time of search rather than the query
time, makes it highly feasible.
Disadvantages
PageRank is based only on the amount of links a page has with other pages.
Spider trap.
