Well, the short answer is it doesn't Even if you set internal links to
be ignored they are still calculated in the OPIC scoring and this
negatively affects search relevancy. The way to handle this is to set
the db.score.link.internal variable to 0.0. This way only external
links are counted in OPIC.
I will post a wiki entry about this process soon.

Hi,
I was wondering how does db.ignore.internal.links affect rankings on
PageRank and OPIC algiorithm? I searched on the forum - couldn't get a
clear-cut answer.
I am using Nutch 0.7.2 to crawl & index handful of sites. One site - has lot
of pages and interlinks - around 1/3 of my total pages are from this site -
hence, when I search for something and hit 'Show All Hits' - first 5-10
pages are from this site - before any results from other sites are shown.
How will db.ignore.internal.links help in this case?
Of course, I will have to recrawl with nutch-0.9 to use OPIC algorithm...:-(
Thanks.
