Marginalia Similar Website Finder

This is an experiment in website similarity ranking. It will be integrated into Marginalia Search in the future, but it's cool enough it merits its own page for now.

How does it work? In plain English, this service looks at which websites link to a particular target website, and then it ranks websites that are popular among those linking websites using a method commonly used in recommendation algorithms.

In technical jargon, it reinterprets the incident edges in the adjacency matrix as sparse high dimensional vector, and uses cosine similarity to find the nearest neighbors nodes within this feature-space.
