PageRank is an algorithm used by Google Search to rank web pages in their search engine results. It is named after both the term “web page” and co-founder Larry Page. PageRank works (very roughly) by counting the number and quality of links to a page to determine a rough estimate of how important the website is.
Link Quality
The quality of a link is determined by the relevance and authority of the linking site. Relevance refers to how closely the content of the linking site matches the content of the linked-to site. Authority refers to how trustworthy and reputable the linking site is.
