  1. Mathematics for Computer Science Google Rankings MIT 6.042J/18.062J Which webpages are “more important?” PageRank Model of internet: • Users click random link on a page. (by Google founder • Occasionally start over. Larry Page) A page is “more important” if viewed a large fraction of time page­rank.1 page­rank.2 Albert R Meyer, May 13, 2015 Albert R Meyer, May 13, 2015 Random Walk on the Web Random Walk on the Web To model starting over: View the entire web as digraph * add a “super­node” to the graph • vertices are webpages * an edge from super­node to each • edge (V,W) exists if link from other node page V to page W * edges from each other node back • edges out of V equally likely to super­node Pr[(V,W)] = 1/outdeg(V) ­may get customized probabilities page­rank.3 page­rank.4 Albert R Meyer, May 13, 2015 Albert R Meyer, May 13, 2015 1

  3. Actual Google Rank Google rank rules are a closely held trade secret using text, location, payment, and other criteria that have evolved for 15 years. But PageRank continues to play a significant role. page­rank.9 Albert R Meyer, May 13, 2015 3
