Submission + - Mathematicians prove how to maximise PageRank (arxivblog.com)
KentuckyFC writes: "Everyone knows that you can boost your ranking by getting other popular sites to link to you. That isn't always so easy. But another question is how best to arrange links between pages within your site in a way that boosts PageRanking. Now a couple of Belgian researchers have proven mathematically which design is best and published the result on the physics arXiv (abstract). This is their advice: arrange your pages in a simple forward chain so that each links to the next but at the same time include every possible backward link."
