Pages with the highest Google PageRank
As you might know, PageRank is Google's way to determine
if a Web page is important or not. PageRank is a numeric value
that ranges from 0 (not important) to 10 (very important)
(the numbers are the PageRank values as displayed in the Google
toolbar).PageRank explained:
http://www.Google.com/technology/A
very interesting question for webmasters is: Which Web pages
are considered the most important by Google?Unfortunately,
Google doesn't publish such a list of Web pages. That's why
we created such a list in two long nights by trial-and-error
:-) (This means that there can be some Web pages missing.)Keep
in mind that Google's PageRank algorithm is page-based, so
different pages of a Web site can have different PageRank
values.Finally, here's the list of the most important Web
pages of the world (ranked by Google PageRank).The first column
is the ranking position, the second column is the Web page,
the third column is the PageRank value and the fourth column
is the number of Web pages that link to the page (as displayed
by Google).
