But there is still much that can be said objectively about the relative importance of Web pages. This paper describes PageRank, a mathod for rating Web pages objectively and mechanically, effectively measuring the human interest and attention devoted to them. We compare PageRank to an idealized random Web surfer. We show how to efficiently compute PageRank for large numbers of pages. And, we show how to apply PageRank to search and to user navigation. title-short: The PageRank Citation Ranking --- is a paper which describes an algorithm for ranking the relative importance of Web pages. It was written by Lawrence Page, Sergey Brin, Rajeev Motwani, and Terry WInograd, and published on January 29th, 1998 by the Stanford InfoLab. ## Idealogs Idealogs uses the PageRank algorithm as a metric for ranking the importance and relevance of articles when searching. ## Reference ReadChanges
