Abstract

A web page evaluation technique includes obtaining a plurality of web pages with the same or approximately the same content. Further, a plurality of generation times and a plurality of first evaluation values that correspond to respective ones of the plurality of web pages are determined. A web page among the plurality of web pages that has the earliest generation time is identified. A second evaluation value of the identified web page is determined according to the plurality of first evaluation values. The second evaluation value can be used to indicate a ranking of the identified web page.

Claims

1. (canceled)

2. A system comprising:

a crawler to obtain a plurality of web pages with the same or approximately the same content;

an indexer coupled to the crawler, to;

determine a plurality of first evaluation values corresponding to respective ones of the plurality of web pages;

determine a second evaluation value associated with an identified web page of the plurality of web pages based at least in part on the plurality of first evaluation values; and

rank the identified web page among the plurality of web pages based at least in part on the second evaluation value associated with the identified web page.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the indexer is further to:

determine a plurality of generation times corresponding to respective ones of the plurality of web pages; and

identify the identified web page from the plurality of web pages based at least in part on the plurality of generation times.

4. The system of claim 2, wherein the plurality of web pages is obtained in response to a search query.

5. The system of claim 2, wherein determining a first evaluation value of the plurality of first evaluation values corresponding to a first web page of the plurality of web pages is determined based at least in part on at least one of an external link associated with the first web page and an internal link associated with the first web page.

6. The system of claim 2, wherein a first evaluation value of the plurality of first evaluation values corresponding to a first web page of the plurality of web pages indicates a degree of relevance associated with the first web page.

7. The system of claim 2, wherein the identified web page is associated with an earliest generation time from a plurality of generation times corresponding to respective ones of the plurality of web pages.

8. The system of claim 2, wherein the plurality of web pages is determined based at least in part on:

comparing a first fingerprint value associated with a first web page of the plurality of web pages to a second fingerprint value associated with a second web page of the plurality of web pages; and

determining that the first fingerprint value matches the second fingerprint value.

9. The system of claim 8, wherein the first fingerprint value is determined based at least in part on a selected portion of content associated with the first web page.

10. The system of claim 2, wherein the second evaluation value associated with the identified web page is determined based on a combination of a first evaluation value corresponding to the identified webpage from the plurality of first evaluation values and a sum of first evaluation values corresponding to those web pages other than the identified web page from the plurality of first evaluation values.

11. The system of claim 2, wherein the indexer is further to include the identified web page in a white list associated with original web pages.

12. The system of claim 2, wherein the indexer is further to display the identified web page with a value determined based at least in part on a quantity of reproductions of content associated with the identified web page.

13. A method, comprising:

obtaining a plurality of web pages with the same or approximately the same content;

determining, using one or more processors, a plurality of first evaluation values corresponding to respective ones of the plurality of web pages;

determining a second evaluation value associated with an identified web page of the plurality of web pages based at least in part on the plurality of first evaluation values; and

ranking the identified web page among the plurality of web pages based at least in part on the second evaluation value associated with the identified web page.

14. The method of claim 13, further comprising:

determining a plurality of generation times corresponding to respective ones of the plurality of web pages; and

identifying the identified web page from the plurality of web pages based at least in part on the plurality of generation times.

15. The method of claim 13, wherein a first evaluation value of the plurality of first evaluation values corresponding to a first web page of the plurality of web pages indicates a degree of relevance associated with the first web page.

16. The method of claim 13, wherein the identified web page is associated with an earliest generation time from a plurality of generation times corresponding to respective ones of the plurality of web pages.

17. The method of claim 13, wherein the plurality of web pages is determined based at least in part on:

comparing a first fingerprint value associated with a first web page of the plurality of web pages to a second fingerprint value associated with a second web page of the plurality of web pages; and

determining that the first fingerprint value matches the second fingerprint value.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the first fingerprint value is determined based at least in part on a selected portion of content associated with the first web page.

19. The method of claim 13, wherein the second evaluation value associated with the identified web page is determined based on a combination of a first evaluation value corresponding to the identified webpage from the plurality of first evaluation values and a sum of first evaluation values corresponding to those web pages other than the identified web page from the plurality of first evaluation values.

20. The method of claim 13, further comprising displaying the identified web page with a value determined based at least in part on a quantity of reproductions of content associated with the identified web page.

21. A computer program product, the computer program product is embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions to:

obtaining a plurality of web pages with the same or approximately the same content;

determining a plurality of first evaluation values corresponding to respective ones of the plurality of web pages;

determining a second evaluation value associated with an identified web page of the plurality of web pages based at least in part on the plurality of first evaluation values; and

ranking the identified web page among the plurality of web pages based at least in part on the second evaluation value associated with the identified web page.
