A method and system for scaling navigation path weights among online
content sources. A method may include determining a first probability of
users traversing a first navigation path from a first to a second online
content source, dependent upon a ratio of traversals of the first
navigation path and traversals of all navigation paths to the second
online content source. The method may also include determining a second
probability of users traversing navigation paths from the first online
content source to any of the online content sources, dependent upon a
ratio of the plurality of online content sources to which navigation
paths from the first online content source exist and a total number of
the plurality of online content sources. The method may further include
generating from the probabilities a scaling factor indicative of a
strength of the first navigation path relative to other navigation paths
among the online content sources.
