title: Characterization of topological structure on complex networks.
abstract: Characterizing the topological structure of complex networks is a significant problem especially from the viewpoint of data mining on the World Wide Web. "Page rank" used in the commercial search engine Google is such a measure of authority to rank all the nodes matching a given query. We have investigated the page-rank distribution of the real Web and a growing network model, both of which have directed links and exhibit a power law distributions of in-degree (the number of incoming links to the node) and out-degree (the number of outgoing links from the node), respectively. We find a concentration of page rank on a small number of nodes and low page rank on high degree regimes in the real Web, which can be explained by topological properties of the network, e.g., network motifs, and connectivities of nearest neighbors.
