How Page Rank Works
Published in Page Rank? What is it? how does it work? what does it do for me? Thats some of the many questions that are often asked about the Google page rank system which was developed by the search engine company back in 1995. As a Internet consultancy organisation we deal with this on a daily basis and thought it would be best to inform everyone of what it is and what it can do for you.
Google’s founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin came up with the idea of the Page Rank system so that it could easily and efficiently organise the internet and the search results that was pulled up through its engine, as it was difficult to find what you were looking for when searching on the internet back when the internet was still an infant.
The Page Ranking system works by using the structure of links on the internet to let other website categorize each other, and if they had any authority over the subject that they hold, this works by counting the number of links that is pointed to a certain website.
The idea behind this is that if a website is the authority on a subject, it would be referred to by other websites on the internet as a source of information.
Page Rank is calculated on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the most important, another good thing about page ran is that it can flow downwards, therefore a link from a high page ranked site could increase your chances of increasing your own page rank. (Put in Simple Terms).
With around 15.5 billion pages in the Google index and growing, any page would be given a minimum Page Rank of 6,66666E-11, and any pages less than that will be ignored and given a page rank of 0.

As the number of pages increase in Google’s index, you will have to gain more incoming links to your website so that you can keep your page rank.
So all in all Page Rank can be important, but will keep you working for your website and not the other way round. Thats why search engine optimisation should be higher on your priorities list because if you get that right the rest will fall into place. So remember, Search Engine Optimisation will increase your traffice and increase your Page Rank.

Will Wolfram Alpha beat Google? or will it supplement it?
Wolfram Alpha was created by Stephen Wolfram who is a British born physicist, and according to some experts in the internet field claim that his tool could be as important as Google is to the Internet.
Like AskJeeves, Wolfram Alpha, a free tool, aims to answer questions directly to the user unlike current search engines that display the best results. This is done by a “computional knowledge engine” which was demonstrated at Harvard University.
“Our goal is to make expert knowledge accessible to anyone, anywhere, anytime,” said Dr Wolfram at the demonstration.
Developers say Wolfram Alpha can simplify language to remove ‘linguistic fluff’

“Wolfram Alpha is like plugging into a vast electronic brain,” he wrote earlier this year. “It computes answers – it doesn’t merely look them up in a big database.”
So the question is…..will this change the way we use the internet? or will it change the way we write content for the internet so that questions get the right answers and your content is the answer that it is give….
What would happen if this technology went head to head with Google? or will all the search engines adopt this technology to help remove spam from the search results. Well all we can do is wait and see how the search engines use this tool, and how Search engine optimisation processes are effected by this.

Google looking to change (improve) thier ranking algorithm
With spammers using blackhat search engine optimisation techniques, Google has been forced to make changes to its search ranking algorithm to combat the spate of links leading to malicious web pages appearing at the top of search results.
In the recent months, spammers and cybercriminals alike have been using techniques that go against Google guidelines to manipulate search rankings.
If Google fail to act on the current situation, users will be led to fake sites and untrustworthy sources leading them to mistrust Google as an organisation that they have grown to love.
A report from security company PandaLabs identified over a million links targeting malicious webpages ranking for auto part searches. Google noted that many of the phrases mentioned in the report were rare. A phrase like [1989 Nissan Pickup Truck Engine Check Light Troubleshooting], for example, only appears on attack sites set up by spammers, which explains why Google brought back so many attack sites in response to it and similar queries.
Google, on the other hand, cannot control for content appearing on the Web at large, and historically its famous algorithm performed better than any other at weeding out spammy webpages and malicious results. Unfortunately, that was a version of the Web that was more static. The live Web presents entirely new challenges manifesting as the first major weakness the search engine has faced.
