RatioRank: Enhancing the impact of inlinks and outlinks

Abstract

As web is the largest collection of information and plenty of pages or documents are newly added and deleted on frequent basis due to the dynamic nature of the web. The information present on the web is of great need, the world is full of questions and the web is serving as the major source of gaining information about specific query made by the user. As per the search engine for the query, a number of pages are retrieved among which the quality of the page that are retrieved is questioned. On the retrieved pages the search engine apply certain algorithms to bring an order to the pages retrieved so that the most relevant document or pages are displayed at the top of list. In this paper a new page ranking algorithm known as the RatioRank is discussed, in which the inlink weights and outlink weights are used with the consideration of number of visit count and is compared with some algorithms by using certain parameters.
