The technology behind Google's great results

Recently, I happened to read this article on Google regarding Google's system for great results. We all have been using Google to search may be once or more and have always been amazed by the search results it has provided us.

As a Google user, you're familiar with the speed and accuracy of a Google search. How exactly does Google manage to find the right results for every query as quickly as it does? The heart of Google's search technology is PigeonRank™, a system for ranking web pages developed by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford University.


Building upon the breakthrough work of B. F. Skinner, Page and Brin reasoned that low cost pigeon clusters (PCs) could be used to compute the relative value of web pages faster than human editors or machine-based algorithms. And while Google has dozens of engineers working to improve every aspect of our service on a daily basis, PigeonRank continues to provide the basis for all of our web search tools.

Search Engine Results Pages : Ranking

Have you ever wanted to know where your website displayed in any particular search engine. Ever wanted to know where your site displayed in sites like Google or Yahoo. Well this was exactly what I too felt to check where I ranked in the search engines. And yes, I also used to go through page by page to look where my page ranked.

This process is all manual and tedious too, don't you agree with me. Well today all by chance I was browsing through delicious and on top of all the results was one familiar site shoemoney. I had recently visited this site. But I was specially interested to this site this time because it offered a link that said "Shoemoney Serps Script". You may also be interested to check out their affiliate program too.

To my surprise, this was the exact page that I was looking for. Just go the this link. You can search where your website ranks in top search engines. Like for example, I did the following query.

As you can in the figure above, I search for the keywords "nepal, voices, issues" in the website "http://www.hamroawaaz.com".

The results are also shown in the above figure.

Just amazing. I can't believe it. It was just too quick. I will be cross-checking for this results though. I hope you will also check it out. Do send me your feedback regarding this website.
