Mathematical PageRanks (out of 100) for a simple network (PageRanks reported by Google are rescaled logarithmically). Page C has a higher PageRank than Page E, even though it has fewer links to it: the link it has is much higher valued. A web surfer who chooses a random link on every page (but with 15% likelihood jumps to a random page on the whole web) is going to be on Page E for 8.1% of the time. (The 15% likelihood of jumping to an arbitrary page corresponds to a damping factor of 85%.) Without damping, all web surfers would eventually end up on Pages A, B, or C, and all other pages would have PageRank zero. Page A is assumed to link to all pages in the web, because it has no outgoing links. Source: PageRank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |

PageRank is a link analysis algorithm that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of "measuring" its relative importance within the set. The algorithm may be applied to any collection of entities with reciprocal quotations and references. The numerical weight that it assigns to any given element E is also called the PageRank of E and denoted by PR(E). The name PageRank is a trademark of Google. The PageRank process has been patented (U.S. Patent 6,285,999 ). The patent is assigned to Stanford University and not to Google. Google has exclusive license rights on the patent from Stanford University. The university received 1.8M shares in exchange for the patent. The shares were sold in 2005 for $336M.

Domainer is a slang term for referring to individuals, companies, or organizations whose business model includes accumulating a portfolio of generic internet domain names. They consider their conduct in buying, selling, and developing domain names to be in the same spirit as real estate investing. Domainers generate revenue via domain parking as well as through the resale of domain names and by developing domain names into fully functioning websites. Domainers are also sometimes referred to as domain investors and commercial registrants and bulk registrants. Domainers are able to purchase domains more cheaply from Domain name resellers than the average consumer due to purchases in bulk. As of December 2006, there are an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 individuals globally who make buying and selling domain names a part of their business. USA Today reported that many Domainers prefer to remain anonymous due to the competitive and controversial nature of their business. Source: Domaining - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |

What is Domaining versus cybersquatting? |
|
Although the general public may compare domainers to cybersquatters, the official term cybersquatting only applies to trademark infringement. Legal domainers avoid domain names that infringe on intellectual property and they avoid typosquatting domain names that are similar to intellectual property. Those who are not domainers may compare them to ticket scalpers, but domainers compare themselves to real estate developers selling Internet real estate. Generally, buying up mass amounts of domains is done when they are cheap to buy whereas the second level domains of .ki cost over a thousand dollars and so these domains are rarely snatched up in mass in hopes to resell to someone. CNET has reported that "Today, cybersquatters have rebranded themselves as "domainers." While an illegal cybersquatter will register names of intellectual property, a domainer will do other things such as automated domain sniping of expired domains, registration of known words, and registering of all domains that are short such as up to four letters. |
