Never heard of HITS for some reason. Thanks for the tip. A quick Google for comparisons between two give this: http://www.slideshare.net/shatakirti/pagerank-and-hits http://www.slideshare.net/shatakirti/pagerank-and-hits http://www.ijarcce.com/upload/2014/february/IJARCEE9J_a_pooja_comparative.pdf http://www.ijarcce.com/upload/2014/february/IJARCEE9J_a_pooj... The first indicated PageRank has less disadvantages like spam. The second sums up the result here: "page rank is more popular algorithm... due to the features like efficiency, feasibility, less query time cost, less susceptibility to localized links, etc which are absent in the HITS algorithm" If that's true, then my claim would stand as HITS wouldn't have been good enough without a lot of modification. Google also got me better results than Ask that used HITS. If such claims are wrong, then you might be right. It would take more than a quick search to know.
