Abstract

In this paper, we present a Web spam detection algorithm that relies on link analysis. The method consists of three steps: (1) decomposition of webgraphs in densely connected subgraphs and calculation of the features for each subgraph; (2) use of SVM classifiers to identify subgraphs composed of Web spam; and (3) propagation of predictions over webgraphs by a biased PageRank algorithm to expand the scope of identification. We performed experiments on a public benchmark. An empirical study of the core structure of webgraphs suggests that highly ranked non-spam hosts can be identified by viewing the coreness of the webgraph elements.
