The Google Dance

Monday, September 13th 2004

In a previous post I talked about Google standings and I seemed to dance around the search standings. I was 10, 12, 10, 2, 1, 2, 1, etc. and was wondering just how google decided the standings. I came accross Google Datacenter Watch Tool a site that compares a bunch of Google datacenters. It's neet to see how the results differ throughout the day and on each server. Very interesting, have a look, you may not show up where you thought you did.

In similar News I came accross this article about the real Google Dance. It seems Google likes to screw with its algorithm on a regular basis, it's been dubbed the Google dance.

Ever wonder why Google standings are soo important, well have a look at this article on C|Net and you'll see why. Google has 41% of the market, followed by Yahoo! with 27% and MSN with 20%.
