InDegree Analysis (Link Analysis)

Description
A simple heuristic that can be viewed as the predecessor of all Link Analysis Ranking algorithms is to rank the pages according to their popularity (also referred to as visibility (Marchiori 1997)). The popularity of a page is measured by the number of pages that link to this page. We refer to this algorithm as the InDegree algorithm, since it ranks pages according to their in-degree in the graph $G$. That is, for every node $i$, $a_i = |B(i)|$.
