Brody and i were talking about PageRank the other day and i started to thinking about what i was on the scale. The most interesting part is that the ranking works much like the Richter scale for earthquakes. Check it out at PRChecker.
Here’s what I found:
Reader Circle: Online directory of Social gathering & Book stores ← this is a non-profit org. that my brother started a few years ago. (really cool)
Wikipedia Says
Google assigns a numeric weighting from 0-10 for each webpage on the Internet; this PageRank denotes a site’s importance in the eyes of Google. The scale for PageRank is logarithmic like the Richter Scale and roughly based upon quantity of inbound links as well as importance of the page providing the link.
Google describes PageRank
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’.”
