Make Your Own Damn SEO Tools (Using Google Docs!)Sean Malseed
Learn how to use Google docs to build our own free custom free SEO tools that manipulate live data from the internet. We'll build a few tools live, and include links to finished free tools. We'll both be learning how to manipulate APIs from other services in a Google spreadsheet, as well as a having a quick introduction of how to parse actual webpages and Google SERPs using XPath. Not a programmer? Good. You don't have to be.
The PageRank algorithm is an important algorithm which is implemented to determine the quality of a page on the web. With search engines attaining a high position in guiding the traffic on the internet, PageRank is an important factor to determine its flow. Since link analysis is used in search engine's ranking systems, link based spam structure known as link farms are created by spammers to generate a high PageRank for their and in turn a target page. In this paper, we suggest a method through which these structures can be detected and thus the overall ranking results can be improved.
The way in which the displaying of the web pages is done within a search is not a mystery. It involves applied math and good computer science knowledge for the right implementation. This relation involves vectors, matrixes and other mathematical notations. The PageRank vector needs to be calculated, that implies calculations for a stationary distribution, stochastic matrix. The matrices hold the link structure and the guidance of the web surfer. As links are added every day, and the number of websites goes beyond billions, the modification of the web link’s structure in the web affects the PageRank. In order to make this work, search algorithms need improvements. Problems and misbehaviors may come into place, but this topic pays attention to many researches which do improvements day by day. Even though it is a simple formula, PageRank runs a successful business. PageRank may be considered as the right example where applied math and computer knowledge can be fitted together.
PageRank is a link analysis algorithm and it assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of "measuring" its relative importance within the set. The algorithm may be applied to any collection of entities with reciprocal quotations and references. The numerical weight that it assigns to any given element E is referred to as the PageRank of E and denoted by {\displaystyle PR(E).} PR(E). Other factors like Author Rank can contribute to the importance of an entity.
A PageRank results from a mathematical algorithm based on the webgraph, created by all World Wide Web pages as nodes and hyperlinks as edges, taking into consideration authority hubs such as cnn.com or usa.gov. The rank value indicates an importance of a particular page. A hyperlink to a page counts as a vote of support. The PageRank of a page is defined recursively and depends on the number and PageRank metric of all pages that link to it ("incoming links"). A page that is linked to by many pages with high PageRank receives a high rank itself.
Numerous academic papers concerning PageRank have been published since Page and Brin's original paper.[5] In practice, the PageRank concept may be vulnerable to manipulation. Research has been conducted into identifying falsely influenced PageRank rankings. The goal is to find an effective means of ignoring links from documents with falsely influenced PageRank.
Other link-based ranking algorithms for Web pages include the HITS algorithm invented by Jon Kleinberg (used by Teoma and now Ask.com),the IBM CLEVER project, the TrustRank algorithm and the hummingbird algorithm.
1. Webpages tend to behave as authorities or hubs.
2. An authority represents an research thesis, and a hub represents an encyclopedia.
3. Each page has an authority and a hub score.
4. The graph is based on query, included pointed to and from pages.
5. Authority score is the sum of scores of all hubs pointing to it.
6. Hub score is the sum of scores of all authorities is pointing to.
7. Score are normalized with L2-norm in each iteration (root of sum of squares).
8. Needs to be performed at query time.
9. Two scores are returned, instead of just one.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

2. Project Abstract Instructor: Prof. Reddy Raja Mentor: Ms M.Padmini To Implement PageRank Algorithm using Map-Reduce for Wikipedia and verify it for smaller data-sets
19. Algorithm Google figures that when one page links to another page, it is effectively casting a vote for the other page. The more votes that are cast for a page, the more important the page must be. Also, the importance of the page that is casting the vote determines how important the vote itself is. Google calculates a page's importance from the votes cast for it. How important each vote is also taken into account when a page's PageRank is calculated.
30. PageRank Equation(Enhancement) Solution for Cycles and If a random surfer gets bored Here ‘d ‘ is known as damping factor . It represents the probability, at any step, that the person will continue surfing . The value of ‘d’ is typically kept 0.85
32. In other words In a simpler way:- a page's PageRank = 0.15 /N+ 0.85 * (a "share" of the PageRank of every page that links to it) "share" = the linking page's PageRank divided by the number of outbound links on the page. And N=the number of documents in collection The equation of PageRank shows clearly how a page's PageRank is arrived at. But what isn't immediately obvious is that it can't work if the calculation is done just once.
33. PageRank Equation-as per the published paper :“The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hyper textual Web Search Engine”-Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page We assume page A has pages T1...Tn which point to it (i.e., are citations). The parameter d is a damping factor which can be set between 0 and 1. We usually set d to 0.85.. Also C(A) is defined as the number of links going out of page A. The PageRank of a page A is given as follows: PR(A) = (1-d) + d (PR(T1)/C(T1) + ... + PR(Tn)/C(Tn)) ->Note that the PageRanks form a probability distribution over web pages, so the sum of all web pages’ PageRanks will be one.
34. IssuesIn the Original Formula Formula given in the in Page and Brin's paper does not supports the statement that "the sum of all PageRanks is one“ Hence to support the statement the formula is modified as: PR(A) = (1-d)/N + d (PR(T1)/C(T1) + ... + PR(Tn)/C(Tn)) where N=the number of documents in collection

Value : UrlList <OutLink> Output: Key: “1.html” Value: “<new pagerank> <OutList> 1.html 2.html...” Now iterate until convergence (determined by the precision value).
67. Module2: PageRank Calculator IssuesCatch22 Situation Suppose we have 2 pages, A and B, which link to each other, and neither have any other links of any kind. This is what happens:- Step 1: Calculate page A's PageRank from the value of its inbound links Step 2: Calculate page B's PageRank from the value of its inbound links we can't work out A's PageRank until we know B's PageRank, and we can't work out B's PageRank until we know A's PageRank. Thus the PageRank of A and B will be inaccurate.
68. Module2: PageRank Calculator IssuesCatch22 situation (solution) This problem is overcome by repeating the calculations many times. Each time produces slightly more accurate values. In fact, total accuracy can never be achieved because the calculations are always based on inaccurate values. The number of iterations should be sufficient to reach a point where any further iterations wouldn't produce enough of a change to the values to matter. => Use “delta function” which will keep track of changes in the PageRank of all the pages and if the change in PageRank of all the pages is less than the value specified by the user the iterations can be stopped.
