PageRank (Google)

PageRank is an algorithm used by Google to determine the importance of web pages. It works by analyzing links between websites: when a page links to another, it’s like giving a vote of confidence. The value of that vote depends on the linking page’s own importance. Pages with many high-quality links pointing to them are considered more relevant. This process creates a ranking system that helps prioritize the most trustworthy and relevant pages in search results, making it easier for users to find useful information quickly.
