Google Makes Its Search System Slightly More Transparent 50
Meshach writes "The New York Times has an interesting article about how Google has revealed some of the inner workings of the Google Search service. The main change is that sites that are not in English will be translated then included in the search results. Google said it has also improved the way it recognizes official Web sites, like those published by the government, and will give those sites higher ranking in search results. Google does not usually reveal such details but the article speculates governments have been pushing for more transparancy."

transparent search is fine, now what the Chrome browser is collecting, which LIRC is more secretive (and hides behind 'trade secrets') has the more valuable information to google.

I feel so bad that you as an SEO guy are going to look bad.
Really I do.
I am not even giving a thought as to how most SEO is out there to ruin a perfectly good internet and I am also not taking into account
how on normal days I believe that people in the SEO field are complete scumbags.
You know, the kind of people that should be put out to sea in a small boat that is on fire.
SEO consultants, lawyers, spammers, politicians and union organizers.
Because of my ability to overlook all of that ... I feel really bad for you.
