Wheras site B only has 2 votes (links).

Site A has 4 votes (links), therefor Site A is more important than site B which only has 2 votes

(links).

For example, let's say that a town was voting on whether or not they wanted to pass a certain

law. Their were 3 parties voting.

?

The Leader (Ruler)

?

The Council

?

The Citizens

Now, whose vote would count for more? I would guess that the Leader's vote would count for

much more than both the council and the citizens. The leader is obviously more important that

both of the others. The council and the citizens' votes would still count for something, but just

not as much as the Leader's vote.

Page Rank works in a similar way. A link or "vote" from those pages that are more important

will increase your page rank and "count for more" than those pages that aren't as important.

Remember, in order to tell how important a webpage is, simply count the number of pages

linking (voting) to that page, AND also the importance of those pages voting for that page.

Make sense?
