Commercial sites can rely on directories.
Good articles can get cited by people who acknowledge them as they are useful
and accurate.
That was probably the idea behind PageRank in day one. It's based on
following a trail of citations to find influential pages. Unfortunately, not
everyone links to the best papers from MIT and shops that are the cheapest.
As soon as the algorithm come out of the bags, people misuse them.
