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 &#8220;important&#8221; weigh more heavily and help to make              other pages &#8220;important.&#8221;<\/font><\/p>\n<p><font size=\"-1\">Important, high-quality sites receive a higher PageRank,              which Google remembers each time it conducts a search. Of course,              important pages mean nothing to you if they don&#8217;t match your query.              So, Google combines PageRank with sophisticated text-matching techniques              to find pages that are both important and relevant to your search.              Google goes far beyond the number of times a term appears on a page              and examines all aspects of the page&#8217;s content (and the content of              the pages linking to it) to determine if it&#8217;s a good match for your              query.<\/font><\/p>\n<h3><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/technology\/index.html\"><font size=\"-1\">More&#8230;<\/font><\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page&#8217;s value.
