We conduct experiments to investigate the performance of our model by using data crawled from Sina Weibo.Findings: User influence is correlated to the attention that a user has received from his/her audience,the user's activities and his/her tweets' influence. Experimental results show that our model can reflect microbloggers' influence in a more reasonable way.Research limitations: More factors need to be considered to identify different influential users at different time periods.Practical implications: The results of the study provide us with insights both into the way to measure microblog users' influence and to rank users based on their influence.Originality/value: By combining link analysis and user activities,this index model can reduce the impact of dummy follower accounts on user influence,reflecting a user's real influence in the microblog system.展开更多
