Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatus for identifying landing pages for images. In one aspect, a method includes, for each image of a plurality of images, identifying web pages that each include the image, and, for each of the web pages, receiving a web score generated by a ranking algorithm. The web page having a web score indicating a highest importance relative to other web pages is selected, sets of similar images are determined from the images included in the selected web pages, and each set of similar images includes different images. For each set of similar images, an image is selected based on the selected web page that includes the selected image having a highest web score of the set, and the selected web page that includes the selected image is identified as a landing page for an image search result.
