The Real Deal Behind Googles Alogrithm

The Algorithm. OH The Algorithm….This is what makes the search engine, what it is. When you try to explain to someone how Google ranks certain pages, what do you tell them? Can you really summarize the algorithm in one sentence or explain it to someone who is completely oblivious to the web besides just using it for daily searches.
Wired magazine has a post titled, “How Google’s Algorithm Rules the Web,” which goes into detail on the algo, Google, Bing, etc. This is something that is constantly being worked on by these big companies who rule search, LITERALLY, RULE SEARCH. How crazy is that?
“This year, Google will introduce 550 or so improvements to its fabled algorithm, and each will be determined at a gathering just like this one. The decisions made at the weekly Search Quality Launch Meeting will wind up affecting the results you get when you use Google’s search engine to look for anything — “Samsung SF-755p printer,” “Ed Hardy MySpace layouts,” or maybe even “capital Burkina Faso,” which just happens to share its name with this conference room. Udi Manber, Google’s head of search since 2006, leads the proceedings. One by one, potential modifications are introduced, along with the results of months of testing in various countries and multiple languages. A screen displays side-by-side results of sample queries before and after the change. Following one example — a search for “guitar center wah-wah” — Manber cries out, “I did that search!””
