<< Google News Source and Site Credibility Ranking Patent | Google Patent on Historical Data >>
Tue, 04/26/2005 - 16:15 — Christoph C. Cemper

Google registered the Trademark for "TrustRank" – a possible succesor to the existing PageRank valuation display method that has been said to seen it's end of live as it does not necessarly correlate with the search engine results for several months. Altough it's still better than nothing a lot of people do not trust in it anylonger – not even google Itself :-)

There is a standford research paper available for aprox. a year that outlines the basic idea of the TrustRank algorithm to identify web spam by only a few authorized big seed sites (authority sites?).

Read the TrustRank Paper

here. These 12 pages look very interesting.

(update: fixed the link now!)

The TrustRank Trademark was registered on March 16 2005 by Google Inc.

Search Engine Watch reported about it in their blog – citing a "Neighborhood Wide Web"

Combating web spam with TrustRank is another interesting read.
