We still do look at pagerank whenever were trying to rank things, says Cutts.

So if this is the one that happened to get written up in a very sort of reputable location, then it couple be that this one has more pagerank and thats why it outranks it.Cutts says its strange, because if the other video is getting the comments, and the high views and ratings, then it must be getting some good word of mouth from somewhere, but perhaps its just not getting the links from reputable sources that the other one is.The factors that influence a video universal result are often similar to factors that influence web search, according to Cutts. This means things like how well Google thinks a certain result will match in terms of topicality, and the reputation of a page are taken into consideration. Links can play a significant role in that.
