PageRankPageRank
PageRank explained by Google:Google interprets a link on page A going to page B as a vote -- by page
A,
for page B. 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.
