When TrustRank algorithm a small number is selected manually from trusted sites. These can then be similar to the PageRank method, further bequeath trust to linked sites. The trustworthiness of a page decreases the further it is away from the sources. The calculation of TrustRank, after manually defining sources, automatically from the link structure, that is, the links on the web pages.
