Abstract

The number of websites on the Internet is growing randomly, thanks to HTML language. Consequently, a diversity of information is available on the Web, however, sometimes the content of it may be neither valuable nor trusted. This leads to a problem of a credibility of the existing information on these Websites. This paper investigates aspects affecting on the Websites credibility and then uses them along with dominant meaning of the query for improving information retrieval capabilities and to effectively manage contents. It presents a design and development of a credible mechanism that searches Web search engine and then ranks sites according to its reliability. Our experiments show that the credibility terms on the Websites can affect the ranking of the Web search engine and greatly improves retrieval effectiveness.
