Google’s algorithm uses a patented system called PageRank to help rank web pages that match a given search string. The PageRank algorithm computes a recursive score for web pages, based on the weighted sum of the PageRanks of the pages linking to them. The PageRank derives from human-generated links, and correlates well with human concepts of importance.

The exact percentage of the total of web pages that Google indexes are not known, as it is very hard to actually calculate it. Previous keyword-based methods of ranking search results, used by many search engines that were once more popular than Google, would rank pages by how often the search terms occurred in the page, or how strongly associated the search terms were within each resulting page. In addition to PageRank, Google also uses other secret criteria for determining the ranking of pages on result lists, reported to be a number over 150

Jay & KG - I hear you there. I don’t know if this change had made it more reliable or less reliable… I’m going with the later. That being said there is an adjustment period so who knows. I do know that I’m ranking next to some sites now that I KNOW get 1/5 or less the amount of traffic I do!

I have also noticed that my alexa rankings have plummeted! What is really weird though is that I have a better ranking with another of my websites that I abandoned which gets almost no traffic.

I posted about it on my blog and I think Alexa is gotten worse because 1.) they don’t even tell you how the rankings are measured and 2.) it’s STILL inaccurate, and almost worse than before.

Sadly, there are tons of blogs who have better rankings than me but I get 3-4 times more traffic. I heard they’re trying to pull some bullshit move to not count ALL toolbar users to balance it out with the regular traffic. Stupid…
