PageRank
As we try to map out the online distribution strategy for some of our content projects, the subject of how to getter a better ranking in your favorite search engine has come up again. No matter what kind of content you are developing, or business you are running for that matter, this topic has never really gone away.
The evolution of page ranking is interesting. Back in the day, your keywords and description metatags were the holy grail. They pretty much have been kicked to the curb right along with the Netscape browser. It’s now all about how many pages link to your site, and the value of those sites that link to you.
While the juicy details of exactly how sites are ranked are kept locked up pretty tight, Google does offer some limited explanation here.
Some nice history (is it urban myth that google trademark term pagerank is play on larry page?), explanation and some sample formulas on the topic as well found on WikiPedia.
from wikipedia
Well then, that should clear up any confusion.
