Algorithms For Dummies

 Exploring the World of Graphs

The PageRank algorithm changes all that by transforming the presence of the 

links on pages and turning them into recommendations, akin to the input of 

expert scholars. The growing scale of the web also plays a role in the success of the 

algorithm.  Good  signals  are  easy  to  find  and  distinguished  from  noise  because 

they appear regularly. Noise, though confounding, is naturally casual. The larger 

the web, the more likely you are to get good signals for a smart algorithm like 

PageRank.
