Abstract
In a computer implemented method, a credibility rating is requested and received, or web activity is tracked, from a web user on a web page. A search request is received from a searcher, and a plurality of links is selected, including a link to the web page to display as search results to the searcher. The link to the web page is then displayed within the search results in an order based, at least in part, on the credibility rating or web activity. Multiple credibility ratings or user web activities on that web page from other users can also be received and stored, and the order of display can be based on these as well. The order of display may be based more on credibility ratings or web activity tracked from web users affiliated with the searcher in a social network.
