Abstract
A computer-implemented method is provided for ranking files from an Internet search. In one embodiment, the method comprises sorting search result items based on a first clickthru popularity and a second clickthru popularity. The first clickthru popularity may be derived from clickthrus that occurred during a first time period. The second clickthru popularity may be derived from clickthrus that occurred during a second time period that is different from the first time period.
