Does anyone know how Google calculates PageRank?
  It may look scary to those of us not mathematical geniuses, but the PageRank algorithm is in fact simple and the formula is as follows:
•PR(A) = (1-d) + d (PR(T1)/C(T1) + ... + PR(Tn)/C(Tn))

  where PR(A) is the PageRank of a page A
  PR(T1) is the PageRank of a page T1
  C(T1) is the number of outgoing links from the page T1
  d is a damping factor in the range 0 < d < 1, usually set to 0.85
  The PageRank is therefore calculated as a sum of all the PageRanks of pages linking to its inbound links, divided by the number of links on the pages of its outbound links.
