I believe it's best to see the Google Toolbar PageRank as part of the Google marketing program.</p><p>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.</p>Barry WelfordThu, 17 May 2007 06:19:11 -0000http://blog.cre8asite.net/bwelford/2007/05/google-pagerank-reputation-and-relevance/#comment-2007514<p>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.</p><p>It's kind of fun to see <a href="http://ask.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="ask.com">ask.com</a> try to do the same thing with their recent string of television commercials about "the algorithm."</p>BillWed, 16 May 2007 23:47:23 -0000
