  text: Hyperlink analysis algorithms significantly improve the relevance of the search
    results on the Web, so much so that all major Web search engines claim to use
    some type of hyperlink analysis. However, the search engines do not disclose details
    about the type of hyperlink analysis they perform, mostly to avoid manipulation
    of search results by Web-positioning companies. The article discusses how hyperlink
    analysis can be applied to ranking algorithms, and surveys other ways Web search
    engines can use this analysis.
