I found a nice ranking of data mining conferences on Microsoft Academic Search based on the number citations and the number of articles published for each conference.

http://academic.research.microsoft.com/RankList?entitytype=3&topdomainid=2&subdomainid=7&last=5

According to this ranking on December 2011, for the last five years, the top 10 data mining conferences are (check the webpage for up to date result):

Conference Name | article published | citations

ICDE - International Conference on Data Engineering 1381 8995
KDD - Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining 797 6570
CIKM - International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management 1441 4145
ICDM - IEEE International Conference on Data Mining 1040 3079
SDM - SIAM International Conference on Data Mining 413 1733
PKDD - Principles of Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery 457 1265
WSDM - Web Search and Data Mining 198 1089
8
PAKDD - Pacific-Asia Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining 691 977
ICWSM - International Conference on Weblogs and Social Media 219 696
DASFAA - Database Systems for Advanced Applications 650 774

can any one say me, how they give ranking to conference? any criteria for this?

I did not find this information

They probably use some kind of formula that consider the citation count, the number of papers published and maybe also some other criteria.

It seems to be automatically generated.

But I think that this list is good. I mostly agree with the top 6. SIAM, KDD and ICDM are top conferences.

The top data mining conferences and journals according to Google (automatically generated):
