Google: The Future of the Internet

Google is the most powerful search engine on the planet. Its used by millions of people from all over the world. But how does it manage to differentiate the right search result from the rest of the trash? The Answer: "PageRank." A complex mathematical formula which, to put it simply, labels a website as imporant depending on how many times it's link shows up on other websites. In other words if Page A shows up on Pages B, C, D.... all the way to Page Z, then it would have a high PageRank.



Also, the more important the page, the higher the rank will be. As an example, if www.vapaeso.com happens to be linked in www.google.com or www.microsoft.com, then you can bet that by the next day www.vapaeso.com will have a higher PageRank because Google and Microsoft are important web sites.
