20 New Graphics on Google's Valuation of Links #infographic

The founders of Google invented Page Rank 22 years ago, and altered the internet for ever. Some things that distinguished Page Rank significantly from current ranking algorithms:

As votes, web links count. Every vote is equivalent in the beginning.
Pages receiving more votes (and ranks higher) become more crucial.
More significant websites cast more votes.

Let's start with a basic principle. This idea created the foundation for the initial Google Page Rank patent, and rapidly helped it become the world's most famous search engine. The more votes (links) a page points to, the more page rank (and other possible link-basis signals) it accumulates. Page ranks may very fast become extremely complicated — but to simplify too much. The more votes it collects, the more outbound links it can transfer to other websites.
