Abstract
A large part of the hidden web resides in weblog servers; traditional search engines perform poorly on blogs. We present a method for ranking weblogs utilizing both link graph and similarity, and based on an enhanced and weighted graph of weblogs capturing crucial weblog features. Rankings are then assigned using our algorithm, BlogRank, which is a modified version of PageRank.To validate our method we ran experiments on a weblog dataset, processed and adapted to our search engine: http://spiderwave.aueb.gr/BlogwaveOur experiments suggest that our algorithm enhances the quality of returned results.

The population of papers under study was ordered into groups that satisfy the stated criterion of interrelation and an examination of the papers that constitute the groups shows a high degree of logical correlation.
Topic-sensitive PageRank
1,524 Citations2002Taher H. Haveliwala
A set of PageRank vectors are proposed, biased using a set of representative topics, to capture more accurately the notion of importance with respect to a particular topic, and are shown to generate more accurate rankings than with a single, generic PageRank vector.
