How does the google page rank thing work?
It ranks my yahoo answers profile 7/10…i don’t think my profile is anything special that attracts people all the time. There are other top users here: http://answers.yahoo.com/rank_total;_ylt=AgaFt_BY75RD6HB6WLNNLBLsy6IX;_ylv=3 and the No1 user here (points wise) is ranked 5/10 so why is that? How does the "Page Rank" on the google toolbar actually work? i’m nothing compared to SK!?!
Oh and i’ve just noticed that even Yahoo! Answers is ranked 8/10!!

this page ranking is a one type of simple algorithm,, it shows the popularity of ur own profile or page,,, there is a program set in which every time someone visit the web page in google , its ranking increases,, so when u search anything the list appears in a way that most popular and visited pages comes first and so on,,,,
while in yahoo answers,, as u answer anybody;s question u score some points,, if ur answer is selected as best then u get some bonus, ans so on ur level increases ,, and such that ur ranking also increases,, this is for ranking,, now for page ranking the same theory appears as google…
