It is one of the most commonly known facts, that the more you simplify a technical mumbo-jumbo, the more it becomes easy for a layman to understand. Keeping this point in mind, over at the SEOmoz, one of the users has put up a highly informative post detailing the hierarchy of the PageRank system. Well, nothing new about it, but what is unique in this post is, the approach taken by the user. He has taken the examples of well-known celebrities to explain the most technical stuff in the simplest of terms.
According to the post, PageRank is all about the quantity and quality of inbound links. The same applies to a celebrity, as his popularity is determined by the quantity and quality of people interested in that individual. Following are the celebrities that have been taken as examples to explain PageRank and why they have been ranked where they are.
POPE (PageRank 10):
JAY-Z (PageRank 8):
ANNE HATHAWAY (PageRank 5):
WILLIE AAMES (PageRank 3):
PARIS HILTON (PageRank 0):
