- QUOTE: We start by providing an intuitive interpretation of PageRank in terms of random walks on graphs. The Web is viewed as a directed graph of pages connected by hyperlinks. A random surfer starts from an arbitrary page and simply keeps clicking on successive links at random, bouncing from page to page. The PageRank value of a page corresponds to the relative frequency the random surfer visits that page, assuming that the surfer goes on infinitely. The more time spent by the random surfer on a page, the higher the PageRank importance of the page. … There are in fact three distinct factors that determine the PageRank of a page: the number of links it receives; the link propensity, that is, the number of outgoing links, of the linking pages; and the PageRank of the linking pages.
