Are you aware there's a published paper describing pagerank in detail?

However, I doubt Google's ranking is based on pagerank at all by now.
I'm sure they still perform link analysis in some form, but it's bound
to have evolved significantly since pagerank - SEOs have long since
learned how to thoroughly game pagerank itself.
