“One-way inbound links from websites with topics that are related to your website’s topic will help you gain a higher Page Rank. Other one-way inbound links from pages with high page rank but unrelated topics do help a little, but not nearly as much."There's another for your collection.

The New York Times article was good. It's a far better description of PageRank than the Digg article.I like these papers, too:<a class="user" href="http://www.rose-hulman.edu/~bryan/googleFinalVersionFixed.pdf">http://www.rose-hulman.edu/~bryan/googleFinalVersionFixed.pdf</a><a class="user" href="http://meyer.math.ncsu.edu/Meyer/PS_Files/DeeperInsidePR.pdf">http://meyer.math.ncsu.edu/Meyer/PS_Files/DeeperInsidePR.pdf</a>Both are far better.

Mathematics is underneath everything, not just google or pagerank. All of computer science is math.
