Improbulus beat me to it, Google lessons for librarians, we can all learn from each other…first lesson is on crawling and indexing…from the article:

“PageRank evaluates two things: how many links there are to a web page from other pages, and the quality of the linking sites […] if a document contains the words…right next to each other…in the title…appear several times […] more trusted websites have chosen to link to…”

There is an exercise included where you can pretend to be a search engine…I wonder if we would of done this in library school.

See another article on ranking…hub and authority.
