Topical crawlers are becoming important tools to support applications such as specialized Web portals, online searching, and
competitive intelligence. A topic driven crawler chooses the best URLs to pursue during web crawling. It is difficult to evaluate
what URLs downloaded are the best. This paper presents some important metrics and an evaluation function for ranking URLs
about pages relevance. We also discuss an approach to evaluate the function based on GA. GA evolving process can discover
the best combination of the metrics’ weights. Avoiding misleading the result by a single topic, this paper presents a method
which characterization of the metrics’ combination be extracted by mining frequent patterns. Extracting features adopts a
novel FP-tree structure and FP-growth mining method based on FP-tree without candidate generation. The experiment shows that
the performance is exciting, especially about a popular topic.
