π΅οΈββοΈ How Google's PageRank algorithm works
The PageRank algorithm gives each page a rating of its
importance, which is a recursively defined measure of importance, based on if important pages link to it.
It's recursive because the importance of a page refers back to the importance of other pages that link to it
Here's how it works in practice:
1β£Β We start with some pages and crawl them for links
2β£ Each page has 1/N points (where N as the total number of pages)
3β£ Add points to each page for the amount of links to it, divided by the number
of links emanating from the sources of these links
