1. A system for performing query-dependent and content-class based ranking, comprising:

  • a processor; and

    a memory coupled with the processor, wherein the memory is configured to provide the processor with instructions which when executed cause the processor to;

    store, using a data storage device, web services data associated with a web site, wherein the web services data comprises content on the web site; and

    receive, using a query-dependent and content-class based ranking system, a query for a search for content on the web site;

    perform a query-dependent and content-class based ranking of content available on the web site, comprising to;

    determine a query-dependent score for content available on the web site based at least in part on the query, comprising to;

    weigh a first value associated with a first attribute of the content by a first weight to obtain a first weighted score;

    weigh a second value associated with a second attribute of the content by a second weight to obtain a second weighted score, the first weight being different from the second weight; and

    calculate the query-dependent score based on the first weighted score and the second weighted score;

    determine a content-class score for content available on the web site in response to the query, comprising to;

    determine a first content-class performance score based on a first query-dependent score, the first query-dependent score being associated with a first content item;

    determine a second content-class performance score based on a second query-dependent score, the second query-dependent score being associated with a second content item; and

    determine the content-class score based on the first content-class performance score and the second content-class performance score; and

    determine an overall score for content available on the web site based at least in part on the query-dependent score and based at least in part on the content-class score; and

    return a ranked list of content based at least in part on the query-dependent and content-class based ranking of content available on the web site in response to the query.
