How Search Engines Work : Learn About Search Engines & Their working
By Mike Grehan at Search Engine Watch
It’s been 10 years since I wrote the second edition of a book about search engines called “Search Engine Marketing: The Essential Best Practice Guide”. It was a very big seller and, in fact, it carried on selling through to the beginning of 2010 when I took it offline.
I’ve decided to start this year by revisiting the chapter in the book about how search engines work. I’ve said many times over the years that, most books about SEO have a section called how search engines work. But rarely (if ever) do they describe the interdisciplinary approach to information retrieval (IR) covering mathematics, computer science, library science, information architecture, cognitive psychology, linguistics, and statistics – to name but a few.
Previously, I had written mainly about methods of manipulating rankings by keyword stuffing and other black hat type techniques of the time. But as I began to realize the importance of linkage data and even more so, link anchor text, I became more and more inquisitive as to what it was exactly that search engines used in their ranking technologies.

Google, Facebook Asked to Screen User Content in India : Indian Government Demands Content Censorship
Indian UPA Government Demands Content censorship on Technology Companies like Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Microsoft
By DAVID ANGOTTI at SEJ
India, which has over 100 million active internet users and is the third largest country in terms of internet activity, wants certain types of content screened by technology companies.
The India Telecommunications Minister, Kapil Sibal, held a press conference in New Delhi criticizing Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and other large internet companies. He said that these companies have refused to cooperate with his demands to censor derogatory material and that India will begin to take action itself. He is especially concerned with “offensive” material that is being posted by users to platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. Sibal indicated that the Indian government will begin to censor “offensive” content if the technology companies do not voluntarily comply with India’s demands.
During the press conference, Sibal said:
