Web Rank, a tool that Yahoo has not launched as a Google PageRank, is being tested by a team of Yahoo's "companions" departments. Web Rank is integrated into Yahoo's latest version of the Search toolbar, which is named Yahoo Companion.
Yahoo and Google's toolbar are fundamentally different. Google's PageRank is based on the popularity of the URL and Yahoo's system is according to network traffic to determine the ranking of the page.
As you can see from the Yahoo Web rank help page, the main factor determining the ranking is the number of users who click on the Web site by the Yahoo toolbar user. Yahoo says "The value of Web rank is made up of Yahoo! The Search algorithm determines the rules. ”
The representative of Yahoo explained that Web rank was not determined by the number of users of the toolbar.
Yahoo toolbar using collected click Data to guide the Yahoo slurp index new online content, so the site does not join the Yahoo Index Library on the toolbar can enjoy the extra treatment, that is "if a site or page is not included in the Yahoo Index library, then Yahoo Web rank helps to remind Yahoo! Search crawler These sites and Web pages exist, and instruct the program to visit the site or Web page to include in the Yahoo! Search Index Library. ”
That is, web rank works by collecting the URL data for the Web page being accessed, the data collected is sent to the Yahoo server for analysis, and then the appropriate Web rank for the URL is returned to Yahoo Companion (Yahoo toolbar).
So this reminds the merchant not to visit the competitor's not included site.
From the Forum's response to Web rank, this feature has not been taken seriously, because most people think that Web rank will only be a test of popularity as the Alexa tool.
The author has installed Yahoo! toolbar, but Web rank has no effect. Some Forum members claim that the normal operating rate is only 50%. Yahoo's representative explains why the feature is still in an informal state and is still in the test phase, explaining that they do not want to be a tool to test the popularity of the product before Web rank is not running properly.
