Google-backrub

     Did you know that Backrub was the original name for Google Search Engine..They named as such because the system checked backlinks to estimate the importance of a site...

Google began in January 1996 as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they were both PhD students at Stanford University in California....

While conventional search engines ranked results by counting how many times the search terms appeared on the page, the two theorized about a better system that analyzed the relationships between websites. They called this new technology PageRank, where a website's relevance was determined by the number of pages, and the importance of those pages, that linked back to the original site

       Eventually, they changed the name to Google, originating from a misspelling of the word "googol", the number one followed by one hundred zeros, which was picked to signify that the search engine wants to provide large quantities of information for people. Originally, Google ran under the Stanford University website, with the domain google.stanford.edu.


Today Google's index list contain over 8 billion of web pages.
