The PageRank Citation Ranking: Bringing Order to the Web
First Stanford paper about PageRank. It is a static ranking, performed at indexing time, which interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. Web is seen as a direct graph and votes recursively propagate from nodes to nodes. Ra
