A New Page Ranking Algorithm Based On WPRVOL Algorithm

The amount of information on the web is always growing, thus powerful search tools are needed to search for such a large collection. Search engines in this direction help users so they can find their desirable information among the massive volume of information in an easier way. But what is important in the search engines and causes a distinction between them is page ranking algorithm used in them.In this paper a new page ranking algorithm based on Weighted Page Ranking based on Visits Of Links (WPRVOL) Algorithm for search engines is being proposed which is called WPR'VOL for short. The proposed algorithm considers the number of visits of first and second level in-links. The original WPRVOL algorithm takes into account the number of visits of first level in-links of the pages and distributes rank scores based on the popularity of the pages whereas the proposed algorithm considers both in-links of that page (first level in-links) and in-links of the pages that point to it (second level in-links) in order to calculation of rank of the page, hence more related pages are displayed at the top of search result list. In the summary it is said that the proposed algorithm assigns higher rank to pages that both themselves and pages that point to them be important.
