    Only the 2 founders designed their algorithm, so it's easy to keep it secret. The employees maybe just make some basic programming.

    Well, considering Standford University owns the original algorithm (Google licenses it FROM Standford) - I doubt that there is much of a secret anymore. Oh - that and the fact that it has a patent which discloses the basic procedure.

    Remember, during the last media day Google quietly switched from saying 'over 100 ranking factors' to 'over 200 ranking factors.' It's an ever changing and growing formula.

    See what Rand sayz.

    Looks like Rand makes precisely my point -

    If it was leaked it wouldn't be of any use to us

    Agree with you...

    Believe it or not
    my PR predictor has been using 20+ smaller (my design) algorithms already

    So I believe Google they are using hundreds++ smaller algorithms

    Now we are making sense! It ain't just the algorithm, it is the volumes of data - and many other factors. There isn't "one" thing to leak.

    It's not just that, but also even if we knew the exact formulas used to calulate rankings, we'd still have to do the things required. Knowing you have to get links from 10 authority sites to rank for your search term doesn't me you already have those 10.

    yea, everybody around says google/Yahoo/MSN does this and that. But everything was based from speculations or maybe an opinion

    Haven't all search engine optimizers known the algorithm already?

    It's all about:

    Theme of backlinks
    Quantity of backlinks
    PageRank of backlinks
    Authorative backlinks
    Backlinks from different class-c IP
    Quantity of external links
    Page title
    Rewrited urls
    h1, h2 tags
    No javascript-made links
    Meta tags
    Keywords Repetition

    If the algorithm you referring to is PageRank, then it's also leaked. There're plenty of documents all over the net of how to calculate future PR, how your home page transfers PR to sub pages, and more importantly why PR is useless.

    Doesn't that tell you we don't know the whole picture and are missing a rather large chunk of it?

    the real question is how much are the various factors worth? ;)

    No it means that even though people know they have to get links from site's on the same subjuect, it doesn't mean that actually getting those links is easy.

    I would gladly pay anyone who could get the secrets of Google's algo a finders fee of $1M, plus an annual salary of $1M for every year they work for me at keeping the information up to date. I mean it too.

    There is no specific algoritim. It constantly changes and consists of many smaller algos put together.

    The original PR equation was fairly simple and easy to manipulate-so google had to keep making adjustments to it in order to prevent spammers from gaming the system.
