No better place for a description of
PR than Google itself, from Google's PageRank Explained page-:
PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. 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 "important" weigh more heavily and ...

It's been a busy few months for the del.icio.us team- building new features, scaling-up infrastructure to meet growing demand, and working with

We added a large site to this domain and enough links to make a few
PR4 pages at the next PR update. As I ...

Marketing Vox came out with a noteworthy story this week about Google, which is bound to affect all of us interested in the "smoke and mirrors" of SEO...
Google will allow businesses to upload coupon information, including images, and will then display a link to those coupons when the business's name is displayed in response to queries by users, who can then print the coupons, according to online press reports. Google has also agreed to distribute ValPak coupons, with no money exchanged between the two companies. Google is not charging merchants, either, similar to ...

Andrew Goodman wrote recently in an essay about meta tags:
"If somebody would just declare the end of the metatag era, full stop, it would make it easier on everyone."
I'm happy to oblige, at least in the case of the meta keywords tag. Now supported by only one major crawler-based search engine- Inktomi - the value of adding meta keywords tags to pages seems little worth the time. In my opinion, the meta keywords tag is dead, dead, dead. And like Andrew,
