Hi John, FreeGenerator unlike Injector does not use db.score.injected (default = 1.0) but sets the initial score to 0.0. If all URLs stem from FreeGenerator the total score in the link graph is also 0.0, and no linked documents can get a higher score that 0.0 As possible solutions: - use FreeGenerator with a initial score > 0.0 (but don't put thousands URLs with a score of 1.0: if the total score is too high some pages may get unreasonable high scores) - use linkrank (https://wiki.apache.org/nutch/NewScoring) to get the scores: the default scoring OPIC has the advantage of calculating scores online while following links. It gives good and plausible scores if crawl is started from few authoritative seeds. But sometimes, esp. in continuous crawls, OPIC scores run out of control.
