On the Yahoo Watch proxy I now compare the top 100 results from both Yahoo and Google simultaneously, and show everything -- the ranks, the title, the snippets, and the URL.

Frequently the differences between Yahoo and Google results are so striking (and remember, I'm going 100 deep on each), that I'm losing confidence in search engines altogether. It's not that one or the other is better (that depends on the keywords), and yes, there's good stuff in each, but ... they're so different! Any engine could use any slap-dash ranking system that they come up with during a Saturday-night beer tasting party, throw a randomizer into the top 200 results, and display up to 100, and get away with it. Only the SEO folks would pull their hair out. No one else would notice or care.

That, I'm afraid, is Google's deep dark secret, and the explanation for Florida, et.al.

What amazes me with the the whole SEO/Search engine malarky is that some clever bod programer has'nt come up with a program that can analize the results from SE's and work out exactly how they are working.

I mean that at the end of the day no matter how much the SE's may crow about their fancy ranking algo's there can only logicaly be so many factors that can be used to determin where a page would appear in the rankings if the common denominating factor is that SE's must strive for relevancy for them to have any value.

Surely some sort program that constantly scans SE's results and builds a database of factors that appear and then the amount of those factors that the better ranked sites share would'nt be to far fetched would it ?

C'mon programmer peeps - time for you to get richer than Bill Gate$

P.S What if someone has already got such a program and SE's HAVE introduced a randomized ranking element into their algo's to try and defend themselves from being exposed ?.........hmmmm
