| PageRank™
What is it? And why do we need it? The description of pagerank below (first
three paragraphs) has been taken from the Google website at: http://www.google.com/technology/
It is listed here on our home page to accurately describe pagerank. This
information is copyright © by Google.com The heart of software, technology,
and algorithm is PageRank™,
a system for ranking web pages developed by their founders Larry Page and Sergey
Brin at Stanford University. While they have dozens of engineers working to improve
every aspect of Google on a daily basis, PageRank continues to provide the basis
for all of their web search tools. PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic
nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual
page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a
vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of
votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote.
Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily
and help to make other pages "important." Important, high-quality
sites receive a higher PageRank, which Google remembers each time it conducts
a search. Of course, important pages mean nothing to you if they don't match your
query. So, Google combines PageRank with sophisticated text-matching techniques
to find pages that are both important and relevant to your search. Google goes
far beyond the number of times a term appears on a page and examines all aspects
of the page's content (and the content of the pages linking to it) to determine
if it's a good match for your query. The ipagerank

Pagerank plays one of many important factors in your sites visibility in search

behind search engine algorithms. more...."Can't
