Abstract

The web consists of a huge number of documents that have been published without any quality control. To retrieve necessary
information from World Wide Web, search engines carry out number of tasks based on their respective structural design. Various
Search engine follow, different algorithm for ranking pages & produce different result. Search engine generally returns a large
number of web pages in response to user queries using algorithms. In this paper, we compare two popular web page ranking
algorithms namely: HITS algorithm and PageRank algorithm. The paper highlights their variations, respective strengths,
weaknesses and carefully analyzes both these algorithms.
