I have searches the github repo for information for page ranking. I am newbie in SEO. I would grately appreciate if marginalia provided clean readme about it, about their algorithm. At marginalia search front page we have access to search keywords, page algorithm is important enough to be at least discussed on layman terms. How to optimize page, so it could have a high ranking? I undestand this could be in the code documentation, but I have not yet checked it, sorry.

Not sure if serious? From the post: > This new approach seems remarkably resistant to existing pagerank manipulation techniques

The algorithm does not exist to be manipulated in that way. In fact, the article ends with "This new approach seems remarkably resistant to existing pagerank manipulation techniques". It is my opinion (and I know some people will disagree with me) that SEO is harmful and should not exist. Since you're still new to the industry, it might be worthwhile pivoting to a different occupation.

  If you think about it, a lot of people work in "manipulation techniques"

  Hi, I am not familiar that much with page ranking, and terminology. I think that my oryginal questions could have been misunderstood. I am writing my own web scraper. That is why I am in fact interested in this topic at all. To distinguish poor pages from better I check HTML pages. I think all scrapers need to do that. I rank pages higher if they contain valid titles, og: fields, etc. Etc. There is nothing wrong with checking it and asking for what can I do to make my site more scrap friendly. Thanks,

The way the ranking algorithm works is by comparing the similarity of the inbound links between websites. So to manipulate the algorithm, you'd need to find an important website, and then find a way of making changes to all the websites that link to that website to add a link to your own website.
