Pages By Distance

The following lists rank pages by how well they are linked from other pages.

As calculating shortest paths from and to all pages (O(n^3)) is becoming ever more impossible, the following heuristic is used (HomePages? are excluded):

1. a page is picked at random
2. repeat three times: a random link is followed to a new page - the new page becomes the current page
   • (This simulates a user following three successive random links starting from a random page.)
3. The current page gets a point.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 1/2 million times.
5. results in "Forward" ranking

The same is repeated the other way around, i.e. follow backward references instead of (forward) links in order to get the "Backward" ranking.

Results:

• the forward ranking calculates how likely it is to visit a certain page, if you click through SL randomly. Essential go terms and concepts rank very high in this rating.
• the backward ranking calculates from which page you have most likely reached your current page. Central index pages rank very good in this rating.
