• Complex networks
• power-laws
• preferential attachment
• correlations

We propose a simple network growth process where the preferential attachment contains two essential parameters: homophily, namely, the tendency of sites to link with similar ones, and the number of attaching neighbors. It jointly generalizes the Barabasi-Albert model and the scale-free homophilic model with a control parameter which tunes the importance of the homophily on preferential attachment process. Our results support a detailed discussion about different kinds of correlation, in special a fitness correlation introduced in this paper, and comparisons between BA model, scale-free homophilic model, and our present model considering its topological properties: degree distribution, time dependence of the connectivity and clustering co-efficient.
