Abstract: With the rapid growth of the Web, users get easily lost in the rich hyper structure. Providing relevant information to the users to supply to their needs is the primary goal of the owners of the websites. Web mining was categorized into three categories such as web content mining, web usage mining and web structure mining. Web structure mining plays an important role in this approach. Two page ranking algorithms such as PageRank and Hyperlink-Induced Topic Search (HITS) are commonly used in web structure mining. Both algorithms treat all links equally when distributing rank scores. Comparisons between both algorithms were discussed in this paper.
Ranking is important as it assists the user look for highly ranked pages that are relevant to the query. Different metrics have been proposed to rank web pages according to their quality, and we briefly discuss two of the prominent ones.
