Abstract

In one embodiment, a method of ranking a plurality of linkable documents accessible via a computer network is disclosed. A server analyzes each document so as to measure one or more criteria of the document, each criterion being independent of links between the document and other documents accessible via the computer network and at least one criterion relating to the presence of unsafe or inappropriate content in the corresponding document. Further, the server assigns an independent intrinsic score to each document based on the analysis. The server identifies for each document all links between the respective document and one or more other documents. Further, the server generates a ranking score for each document based on the intrinsic scores and iteratively updating the ranking score of each document based on previous ranking scores and the intrinsic scores of documents linked therewith.
