PageRank Explained: The Algorithm's Core
What is PageRank? Importance The Idea
PageRank is an algorithm used by It measures the importance of Important pages are linked to by
Google Search. It ranks web pages website pages. PageRank uses a link other pages. More links to a page
in search results. analysis approach. mean higher rank.
How PageRank Works: A
Step-by-Step Guide
Link Analysis
PageRank analyzes the links between pages. Links are seen as votes
of importance.
Iterative Calculation
The algorithm iteratively calculates a rank. Rank is based on incoming
links' rank.
Damping Factor
A damping factor is used to prevent loops. Damping simulates users
randomly surfing.
Rank Output
The final rank determines page's importance. Higher rank leads to
better search position.
