The document discusses algorithms for combating web spam, including TrustRank and Hilltop. TrustRank computes a static trust score for pages based on the trustworthiness of inbound links. Hilltop identifies expert pages on a topic and ranks target pages based on links from relevant experts. It detects expert pages by those that link to many distinct, non-affiliated pages on a topic. Target scores reflect links from relevant experts and key phrases in those links. The algorithms are evaluated based on precision, recall, and pairwise ordering of results.
