How To Google explains some of the page-ranking consideration Google.com does in order to provide better search results. It certainly requires to analyze the structure of the net with 'weightening' pages and sites in order to find relevant and available web-sites.

In SpiritWeb.Org we implemented a content-sensitive network which essentially 'weights' or 'ranks' each page (out of over 3,000 webpages there) according a set of content relevant words found through a keyword-tree with keywords and derivated (alike meaning) words underneath, this is the first pass.

The 2nd pass each documents rated according its node-weight, e.g. if a document has key-function for a certain topic. In a third pass all pages are linked to each other according their 'rank' or 'weight' according the content-structure.
This 'Neuron-Linking' provides SpiritWeb the 3rd kind of navigation beside hierachical- or tree-structure, and news-oriented (according insertation time).
