PageRank 100. Apparently, his little blog achieved a PageRank of 100. And after a coffee, Josh realized what this must mean. He called up one of his friends, a search engine affiniciado who took computer class. Matt arrived quickly, because he too never saw anything like this, and equally quickly Matt checked the rankings for some words Josh wrote in his blog. He mentioned “dinner”, and boom, his site popped up on Google’s number one spot for this word. Hundreds of millions of people visiting Google, thousands of them entering “dinner”, hundreds of them being transferred to Josh at any second. —Jan Phillip Lenssen
