With the growth of the Internet and the ease with which websites can be created, a lot of web pages of questionable quality and authority have appeared and it has become a significant problem to search the web for trustworthy information [3]. In addition, more and more Internet users rely on and trust information they receive from the Internet than from any other source [2]. Most people, when doing a web search, only look at the first page of results returned by the search engine. As a result, for a lot of commercial sites it is important to appear as one of the first search results, and pages containing advertisement, propaganda material, or "informercials" try to rank higher. Our goal is to prevent such pages, called spam, from qualifying high in the results returned by web search engines.
