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

Keywords: Rank Weblogs Graph based ranking PageRank
