PathSearch algorithms refined
05 February 2006 - 11:49 PM
Those who have been using the next phase of PathSearch, codenamed 'Milestone Two', will have noticed that some of the search results have been changed - some radically.
We have added some modifications to the ranking algorithm!
Now we are taking into account more information regarding a website, so we can rank each result and utilise the extra information to fine tune the results.
The modifications have also meant that 'rank hijackings', whereby web masters attempt to artificially boost their ranking has also been reduced, with huge effects.
There are further plans to increace the overall effectiveness of the ranking algorithms over the next few months.
