1. A method of ranking a plurality of interlinked nodes, the method comprising the steps of:

  • (a) analyzing each node, with respect to one or more user-specified criteria, so as to measure one or more properties of the node, each of which is independent of the relation of the node to other nodes;

    (b) assigning an intrinsic score to each node based on the analysis;

    (c) using a processor, generating a ranking score for each node based at least in part on the intrinsic scores of nodes linked therewith and iteratively updating the ranking score of each node based on the product of one or more numbers representing previous ranking scores and one or more numbers representing the intrinsic scores of documents linked therewith.
