PageRank is a link analysis algorithm used by the Google Internet search engine that assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web. The purpose behind this is to measure the relative importance of the element within the set. It is a probability distribution check which represents the possibility that a person randomly clicking on links will arrive at any particular page.

AdWords is Google’s flagship advertising product and main source of revenue. AdWords offers pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, and site-targeted advertising for both text and banner ads. The AdWords program consists of local, national, and international distribution. Google’s text advertisements are short and contain one title line and two content text lines whereas Image ads can be one of several different Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) standard sizes. Main competitors of Google AdWords are Yahoo! Search Marketing and Microsoft adCenter. Advertisers specify the words that should trigger their ads and the maximum amount they are willing to pay per click. When a user searches Google’s search engine on www.google.com or the relevant local/national google server ads for relevant words are shown as “sponsored links” on the right side of the screen, and sometimes above the main search results. These ads are also known as creatives by Google.
The ordering of the paid-for listings depends on other advertiser’s bids and the “quality score” of all ads shown for a given search. The quality score is calculated by historical click-through rates, relevance of an advertiser’s ad text and keywords, an advertiser’s account history, and other relevance factors as determined by Google. The quality score is also used by Google to set the minimum bids for an advertiser’s keywords. The minimum bid reflects on the quality of the landing page also, which includes the relevancy and originality of content, navigability, and transparency into the nature of the business.
All AdWords ads are eligible to be shown on www.google.com. Another option available for advertisers is of enabling their ads to show on Google’s partner networks. The “search network” includes AOL search, Ask.com, and Netscape. Like www.google.com, these search engines show AdWords ads in response to user searches. The “content network” shows AdWords ads on sites that are not search engines. These content network sites are those that use AdSense, the other side of the Google advertising model. AdSense is used by website owners who want to earn money by displaying ads on their websites.

RS485 defines the physical layer of the network. You may use it as you want. However, since the trunk is shared it is important that no two (or more) devices talk at the same time. If they do this will produce collisions and the corruption of both messages.
The following applies for both half and full duplex RS485.
You can have any number of protocols on the same 485 trunk provided that two or more devices do not talk at the same time.
The consequences of this statement are
1. You can only use more than one protocol if they are poll/response type protocols like Modbus Rtu or Rockwell DF1.
2. If you have a token passing protocol (such as Bacnet mstp) you cannot use another protocol on the same trunk
3. Only one device can be the master for the multiple protocols. The reason is that the master decides when to poll and how long to wait for a response.
Thus, If you have full control over one rs485 port you could use that port to send a poll using protocol#1, wait for a response and then send a poll using protocol#2. If you do not have full control (ie. You are letting two applications which are not co-ordinated share the port) then you cannot run two protocols.
