      We analyze linkage strategies for a set of webpages for which the webmaster wants to maximize the sum of Google’s PageRank scores. The webmaster can only choose the hyperlinks starting from the webpages of and has no control on the hyperlinks from other webpages. We provide an optimal linkage strategy under some reasonable assumptions.
