I thought that this was a funny depiction of how Google’s algorithm may work and is the second cartoon in our series. In reality, Google’s algorithm is very complex. At the heart of Google’s algorithm lies its Patented PageRank technology. Here is a fun fact taken directly from Google’s site http://www.google.com/corporate/tech.html:

PageRank Technology: PageRank reflects our view of the importance of web pages by considering more than 500 million variables and 2 billion terms. Pages that we believe are important pages receive a higher PageRank and are more likely to appear at the top of the search results.
