How Google Calculates Page Rank | Bloggers Lair | Yakezie Forums

Thanks for the info!

very interesting! Lets assume that Google algorithm still uses the same formula which the thesis states. (doesn't matter if they have other wrapper around it like Panda, bear etc and +1) The core of the ranking engine is still the below.

PR(A) = (1-d) + d (PR(T1)/C(T1) + … + PR(Tn)/C(Tn))

Let's also assume that there are only two pages in this world, mine and yours. and my page has a link to your page. So, your page rank will be

= (1 – 0.85) + d(my PR/number of links on my page)

That means if I have many links on my page then your PR will be lower, and if I have only one link and that's yours, then your PR will be higher.

Now if you consider Toy's thesis that commentLuv makes google lower your rank.

If I employ commetnLuv then not mine, but your PR gets reduced as I will now have two links per comment as opposed to one link per comment. Unless Google have some other patch installed.

Complex science, let's forget all of these and focus on writing better contents and commenting on other blogs, back to basic.

Thanks Latisha for fueling gray cells.

This is an interesting topic, which actually got me to google how PR is calculated. There are some other interesting reads out there as well. It's a subject that's a black box for many of us, and the actual calculation may be some derivation of what is stated out there. Regardless, I think I get it a little more now.

Thanks for sharing, LaTisha.

This is very interesting.   I used to really focus on Google and their page ranking algo but not so much these days.  Thanks for the info.   

Thanks… the non bounce factor is interesting.  I'm working to redevelop my site to provide more depth.

You should remember that the original pagerank patent must be about 12 years old now, so I wouldn't be certain that they are still using it in exactly that form. I came across this one recently http://www.seobythesea.com/201…..user-data/ saying that they give different weight to links depending on the position of the page. It is tough to attempt to keep up with all the changes Google makes. I didn't realise that Google used bounces in the original patent I will have to have a look over it again

Agreed. Understanding this is almost impossible, as we don't have all the facts. Let's just work on better content.

Agreed. Content is king.
