Miklós Erdélyi, András A. Benczúr, Julien Masanés, Dávid Siklósi · 2009
While Web spam is targeted for the high commercial value of top-ranked search-engine results, Web archives observe quality deterioration and resource waste as a side effect. So far Web spam filtering technologies are rarely used by Web archivists but planned in the future as indicated in a survey with responses from more than 20 institutions worldwide. These archives typically operate on a modest level of budget that prohibits the operation of standalone Web spam filtering but collaborative efforts could lead to a high quality solution for them.
