PageRank is a
link analysis algorithm, named after
Larry Page, used by the
Google Internet
search engine that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a
hyperlinked set of documents, such as the
World Wide Web, with the purpose of "measuring" its relative importance within the set. The
algorithm may be applied to any collection of entities with
reciprocal quotations and references. The numerical weight that it assigns to any given element
E is also called the
PageRank of E and denoted by
PR(
E).
Page rank allows you to know the popularity of the website or the web page. Thanks
