And that’s the reason why it’s a good thing to create something on the Internet that “everyone else” reads too.

Is the Google ranking algorithm an accurate and fair way to rank web sites? Probably not. According to SEOBook, it’s nothing more than a popularity contest at its most basic level.

Popularity is one factor in determining authority and trust, but it is not the only one. It seems, however, to be the only one that Google can use right now.
