Authority

Search engines constantly tweak their algorithms trying to balance relevancy algorithms, based on overall and topical authority across the entire web. Sites may be considered topical authorities or general authorities. For example, Wikipedia and DMOZ are considered broad general authority sites. On the other hand, some sites such as this one could be considered as a topical authority.
