hyperlinks as bets: pagerank variant as an artificial game market

[amichail]

When page X links to Y, then the pagerank of X goes up (down) if the pagerank of Y goes up (down).

Would such a thing make sense?

Is it prone to spamming?

What sort of formula would you use for this modified pagerank computation?

[budu3 → amichail]

Doesn't that already happen with the PageRank algorithm?

[amichail → budu3]

No.

[fmu]

the equilibrium solution would be for everyone to link to the most popular destination, so this makes no sense.

[amichail → fmu]

What matters is the change of importance to the things that you link to.
