Topic-Sensitive PageRank

From Seo Wiki - Search Engine Optimization and Programming Languages

Topic-Sensitive PageRank (commonly referred to as TSPR) is a context-sensitive ranking algorithm for web search developed by Taher Haveliwala while at Stanford University, ^{[1] [2]} and thought to be used by Google for the purpose of indexing and ranking search results in the SERPs, although no evidence has been shown of it in practice.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Algorithm

Topic-Sensitive PageRank is based on the PageRank algorithm, and provides a scalable approach for personalizing search rankings using Link analysis.
