Evolution of Page Popularity under Random Web Graph Models
Summary: Introduce a quality-augmented preferential-attachment model where link probability depends on degree and page quality; prove that for discrete quality distributions the degree sequence still exhibits power-law tails and characterize degree-by-quality. Analyze temporal popularity: among equal-quality pages older wins, but a younger higher-quality page will eventually overtake; show a randomized ranking scheme accelerates popularity evolution of new pages.
