Abstract
In this paper, we consider the quality of the page delivery as an important factor in the page ranking process. So if two pages have the same level of relevancy to a query, the one with a higher delivery quality (e.g. faster response) should be ranked higher. We define several important quality attributes and explain how we rank the web page based on these attributes. The experiment result shows that our proposed algorithm can promote the pages with a higher delivery quality to higher positions in the result list. We also compare several rank aggregation algorithms trying to find out the best performing one.
