BPWrap : Google PageRank - Reputation and Relevance | BPWrap

  • Bill · 2 years ago
    Pagerank might be the most well known algorithm, at least by name, in the world. I think that it illustrates how even something like a mathmatical formula can provide a marketing benefit to a company.

    It's kind of fun to see ask.com try to do the same thing with their recent string of television commercials about "the algorithm."

    I think you're right, Bill. I believe it's best to see the Google Toolbar PageRank as part of the Google marketing program.

    It's interesting to muse whether it would have worked better as a star system, like the Michelin stars. Having 5 Google Stars would be much easier to understand than having a PageRank of 5. I can see lots of similarities between the two 'star' systems.
