Abstract
Techniques are provided for generating quality measures for items, including web pages, based on a 'random searcher' behavior model. The random searcher behavior model takes into account 'implicit' links between items, instead of or in addition to the explicit links. After identifying the implicit links between items, the implicit links may be used as the basis for generating quality measures for the items to which the implicit links point. A variety of types of implicit links are described. To facilitate the generation of quality measures for items based on implicit links, a graph of the implicit links may be constructed in a manner similar to a webgraph.
