Pagerank Prediction

Our Prediction algorithm is completely different from any other system you might find. Most systems online will just use results from multiple data centers and give you an average. Our script actually gets all current results, as well as experimental results from Google labs, back-link counts from the AJAX API, MSN and Yahoo, as well as Google. We run checks based on historical data, showing which sites with similar data to current query received in an update.

PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves "important" weigh more heavily and help to make other pages "important."

Although most people think that pagerank comes directly from back links, things such as "bounce rate" and click through matter as well. Picture this, someone searches for 'search term' and clicks on your result, only to click the back button and click another result. This is not without consequence as these actions will effect your search position as well as Google traffic to your site.
