Google – 2010 Winner

Google Enables Real Time Spam and More
Rae Hoffman, Outspoken Media | 12/9/09

Congratulations to our winner! Here’s a choice bit from the winning post:

I think the aspect of this “real time search” that frankly, scared the hell out of me the most, is the ability for predators to reach out to children with no way to stop them. At this point, I see no way to remove real time search from showing in the results. Safe search, even on the highest setting, to date, does not remove them. Suddenly, anyone can talk to my child while they surf Google.

Runners-Up

The top two runners-up in public voting were:

  1. Google’s New Search Engine Rankings Places Heavy Emphasis on Branding
    Aaron Wall, SEO Book | 2/25/09
  2. Google Now Personalizes Everyone’s Search Results

The winner and runners-up are welcome to grab the appropriate badge — we have a badge for both winners and runners-up.

Google Sitelinks Research, Examples, Theories and Best Practices [Project Big Water]
Eric Lander | 10/16/08

Congratulations to our winner! Here’s a choice bit from the winning post:

We need to realize that Sitelinks uses an entirely independent algorithm than the traditional organic search results. Early indications were that order of Sitelinks was determined by the internal page strength of the pages included in the program. While I certainly believe that internal page strength is a factor involved, it’s certainly not alone.

Runners-Up

The top two runners-up in public voting were:

  1. What is a #1 Google Ranking Worth?
    Aaron Wall, SEO Book | 5/1/08
  2. How Google Universal Search and Blended Results May Work

Why Google Can’t Just “Dump” PageRank
Dan Thies, SEO Fast Start | 11/9/07

Congratulations to our winner! Here’s a choice bit from the winning post:

The biggest benefit of using PageRank doesn’t come in at the ranking step, it comes in at the document retrieval stage, when you’re trying to decide which of 27,438,902 documents that matched the query text are actually worth ranking. The search engine’s job at the retrieval stage is to pick 1,000 documents to rank, without losing any really important documents.

PageRank excels at this. In fact, PageRank’s role in the retrieval process is why Google’s “Supplemental Index” exists.

Runners-Up

The top two runners-up in public voting were:

  1. What Is Google PageRank? A Guide For Searchers & Webmasters
    Danny Sullivan, Search Engine Land | 4/26/07
  2. Google 2.0: Google Universal Search
    Danny Sullivan, Search Engine Land | 5/16/07

The winner and runners-up are welcome to grab the appropriate badge — we have a badge for both winners and runners-up.
