Developed by Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford in the late 1990s, it assigns each web page a score based on the quantity and quality of other pages linking to it — treating links as votes, weighted by the authority of the voter. A page linked to by many high-PageRank pages gets a high PageRank itself, regardless of its content.</p>
