"The basis of Google's search technology is called PageRank™, and assigns an "importance" value to each page on the web and gives it a rank to determine how useful it is. However, that's not why it's called PageRank. It's actually named after Google co-founder Larry Page." web.archive.org/web/20090424093934/http://www.google.com/press/… | |

| Oct 24, 2013 at 8:48 | comment | added | Dan Hanly | You imply with this answer that PageRank can be broken down to A Page's Rank. However, PageRank is named so, because it was a Ranking mechanism invented by Larry Page. | |

| Oct 4, 2010 at 0:15 | comment | added | John Conde♦ | All three statements display a fundamental misunderstanding of how pagerank works. Being a published formula there is little to disagree on with it. PageRank is per page, not per site. Period. | |
| Oct 3, 2010 at 23:53 | comment | added | Brian R. Bondy | @John: I can see in #2 they do refer to that, thanks. But in other comments they specifically imply some other magic SEO which I'm not sure exists as you say. See my edit to the question for clarification. | |
| Oct 3, 2010 at 23:51 | comment | added | John Conde♦ | They're talking about humans. Not search engines. Which, btw, should be what you design for, not search engines. ;) | |
| Oct 3, 2010 at 23:31 | comment | added | John Conde♦ | Why would there be? Should a subdomain get special treatment just because the primary domain has a home page or subpages that rank well? The primary domain in no way has anything to do with the content on the sub domain's pages. The only way one will affect the other is through linking. Links are votes. Other relationships are not. | |
| Oct 3, 2010 at 23:29 | comment | added | Brian R. Bondy | So there is no SEO benefit obtained from hosting sites X and Y within the same domain? Are you sure? | |
