Interview with Udi Manber, Google Vice Pres of Search Quality

This was a really nice interview by Popular Mechanics and worth a read.

A few notable points:

"I wish people would put more
effort into thinking about how other people will find them and putting
the right keywords onto their pages.
"

"Last year we made over 450 improvements to the algorithm. "

"
At Google we do not manually change results....We made that decision not to put that capability in the algorithm."

"
The results we show you are based not only on what we know of the Web, but also what other people have searched for."
