Google PageRank algorithm leaked
A reputable source at Google has leaked the part of the PageRank algorithm responsible for this weeks update. It’s really helped me understand things a bit better.
$spammers=file_get_contents("http://www.45n5.com/top100/");
$pos = strpos($spammers, $domain);
if ($pos === false) {
$newpagerank=rand(0, 10);
} else {
$newpagerank=rand(0, $pagerank);
}

Hehe, that gave me a good laugh
I feel so nerdy that I was actually amused…
This doesn’t include the portion that punishes those that advertise on these sites. We got hit pretty damn hard too.
Now it makes perfect sense how I avoided the PR penalty!
Can you explain the algorithm a bit?
Patrick, any chance you can “translate/interpret” this? I’m not a programmer and can’t really understand it
Best analysis I have seen… Enough so to actually make me post on a blog of any kind! Whoa!
lol nice one
OK, it says that anybody on the 45n5 list of top 100 make money online blogs gets a random PR between 0 and whatever they had before, everybody else gets a random PR between 0 and 10.
Unfortunately it’s no fun, it’s reality…
i am totally lovin the new PR algorithm moved from a PR0 to PR4 though i have no idea what the algorithm means
Hahaha, this is great, so no matter what, pagerank is random…
Guyz, Did anyone notice that Youtube’s pagerank dropped to 3. WTF!?
Freak! I was actually amazed to see this, now I see it’s a stupid PHP program. Aaaaaaaah this is not funny!!
It basically means;
If you’re flagged as a non-spammer, you get a random PR from 0 to 10
If you’re flagged as a spammer, you get a random PR from 0 to your current rank. (i.e. if you’re current PR is 4, then your new PR is random between 0 to 4).
Haha very nice. Although I think the random function should have been between 0 and 7 lol. This will make us all think twice before posting a top 100 list haha.
Its fake Google does not use PHP on the first hand and They are assigning random PR is that guy out of his mind ? and assigning random pr to both…..lol thats the biggest joke i have ever heard.
I do not understand the algorithm quoted by you.But now my website is PR2 insted of PR3.Do not know what happened.
seems to me that my blog is certainly too clean and google likes me!lol!
a huge rise from 0-5!
Hmmm don’t know if that’s the algo..But this new algo, give my blog PR3 from nothing and all of the sudden it went up to PR3 and i only realize about it when my reader tell me that.
at the same time my photography also get PR2 thou hardly to update that blog weird but Hmmmmmmm
Mine jump from 0 to 4. Yeah!
Patrick,
I think this is a hoax… not a good programmer but reading the code, on this line $newpagerank=rand(0, 10); the sites on the list should either get PR0 or PR10 . That does not seem to have happened to most of the sites on that list.
I think Google is randomizing the pagerank on all sites so its impossible to tell what the real pagerank is.
Why does Google keep PageRank issues under wraps? We see that PageRank is more popular than Adsense and blogger? But the latter have their own blogs.I suggest that Google must come up with a blog for PR updates.The people of the Internet must not be living in uncertainty.If Google’s mission is to unearth hidden information, then they must stop hiding information about PageRank. I really like the way they are growing but they should be more transparent.
that’s funny.
my sites are not in the list. so that’s good for me.
Random pr yeah right as if G would stoop to this. They are all about trying to make there search engine perfect why would they mess everything up with random pr rofl…
I decided to avoid any penalties by starting up my own internet and publishing my content there.
Very cool!
)
You have to be a nerd to think of something like this and an even bigger one to understand what it says.
(Yes, I understand
LOL. It all makes sense now
What’s funnier than the joke in this post is that half the people leaving comments don’t realize it’s a joke!
loool, thanks for the great laugh xD
Is this a link bait campaign, to bring more traffic to your site Or just a nice joke.
I really cannot stop laughing.
That’s really funny
Guys, Guys! Its a Joke! Don’t start drawing conclusions that its a part of the PR algorithm! PR Algorithm more secure than the MicroSoft Windows Source Code!!
I don’t have a clue about that algorithm. Probably because I’m not a programmer. Can anyone just explain in layman’s terms what that actually means??
I believe it.
//Get the contents of the page which lists the top100 money making blogs
$spammers=file_get_contents(“http://www.45n5.com/top100/”);
//If the domain being checked doesn’t appear in this list set page rank to be a random number between one and ten
$pos = strpos($spammers, $domain);
if ($pos === false) {
$newpagerank=rand(0, 10);
}
//If in the list make page rank a random number between 0 and their old page rank
else {
$newpagerank=rand(0, $pagerank);
}
For all those who don’t know php
Wow this is a nice one…. from where did u get this?
actually i’m going to do my FYP with the tilte related to google’s pagerank algorithm. So can i get more info about how to use/apply this algorithm especially is the source code?
Can you explain the algorithm a bit? is it Real?
