A superficial method would involve taking the current PageRank
(public/toolbar indicator gets modified 3-4 times a year) and then count
backlinks that were added since the last PageRank update as well as other
minor factors (Alexa/Netscraft ranks?). You do some obscure calculation and
append +1 because, evidently, more visitors will return if you lie, making
them droll over the ranks.
