Abstract

How to effectively identifying opinion leaders has become a hot research point. It’s essence is to identify the nodes with the strong influence in social network. This paper analyzes the behaviors of users in social networks and proposes the impact evaluation algorithm based on multi-angle user behaviors which is User-Activity Rank algorithm. The algorithm uses the basic idea of PageRank algorithm, considers user’s creativity, interactivity and content quality and designs the uneven distribution mechanism between the users’ UA Rank value, making the computation nodes more accurate. This paper uses Car Home Forum Case for analysis and finds that this algorithm can be more accurate and objective. User-Activity Rank algorithm can help companies improve the accuracy of identifying opinion leaders and promote network marketing with their influence.
