Directed PageRank/Evidence
Method evidence record

Directed PageRank

Directed PageRank is a link-based authority scoring algorithm that assigns importance scores to nodes in a directed graph by iteratively redistributing rank through outgoing edges. Introduced by Brin and Page in 1998 as the backbone of Google Search, it measures not just how many in-links a node has but how authoritative the nodes pointing to it are.
