Little cognitiveness

The color of the point on the Enzol map corresponds to the Popularity Rank of the page, and the points themselves are ordered from left to right and from top to bottom in increasing order of the number of hops (hops) of the corresponding web pages. Pages explicitly specified in the search engine config get a hops value of 0, pages offered for indexing via a web form or were found in one of the Internet directories get a hops value equal to 1. All other pages get the value when they first enter the search engine database. hops 1 more than the page where the link to this page was found. In this sorting, the smoothed map looks like this:



If we now arrange first by the number of inbound links of the page, and then by the number of hops, the map will look like this:



Sort by the number of outgoing links, then the number of hops:



Ordering first by the difference between the number of incoming and outgoing links:



Sorting first by the difference between the number of outgoing and the number of incoming links:



On these cards, you can see that the Popularity Rank is usually higher for pages that have a relatively large number of incoming links, but also exceed the number of outgoing links, and vice versa, if the page has more outgoing links, than incoming, its popularity rating will usually be lower.

Additive: it turns out that PopRank is more resistant to link spam than Google’s PageRank.
