1. A computer implemented method comprising:
- identifying, by at least one processor, a link sequence of pages followed to arrive at a current page;
assigning, by the at least one processor, a priority to content from each page of the link sequence based on a location of each page in the link sequence;
determining, by the least one processor, at least one relevant link from a plurality of links on the current page by;
comparing content from the pages linked by the plurality of links on the current page to the content from each page of the link sequence; and
assigning a relevancy to each link of the plurality of links based on the comparison of the content from the pages linked by the plurality of links on the current page to the content from each page of the link sequence and the assigned priority based on the location of each page in the link sequence; and
indicating the at least one relevant link.

8. An apparatus for determining the relevancy of hyperlinks comprising:
-
a computer having one or more processors; and a storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to perform a method comprising; identifying a link sequence of pages followed to arrive at a current page; assigning a priority to content from each page based on a location of each page in the link sequence; determining at least one relevant link from a plurality of links on the current page by; comparing content from the pages linked by the plurality of links on the current page to the content from each page of the link sequence; and assigning a relevancy to each link of the plurality of links based on the comparison of the content from the pages linked by the plurality of links on the current page to the content from each page of the link sequence and the assigned priority based on the location of each page in the link sequence; and indicating the at least one relevant link. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium for storing computer instructions that, when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to perform a method for determining the relevancy of hyperlinks comprising:
-
identifying a link sequence of pages followed to arrive at a current page; assigning a priority to content from each page based on a location of each page in the link sequence; determining at least one relevant link from a plurality of links on the current page by; comparing content from the pages linked by the plurality of links on the current page to the content from each page of the link sequence; and assigning a relevancy to each link of the plurality of links based on the comparison of the content from the pages linked by the plurality of links on the current page to the content from each page of the link sequence and the assigned priority based on the location of each page in the link sequence; and indicating the at least one relevant link. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
