I know someone working there, and they are actively engaged in bettering their SE results. For years.
The SE market is a tough one. It simply does not hold having good or even "better" search results than others, even if your results are better than google.
To get past the
I'll google it-reflex requires lots of technical and financial backing, and then you need to market your shit like hell, because if you don't no one will even notice you. And this means pouring loads of money out into the world which, you probably don't have, cause no one knows you.
As for "This way we'll learn how google works".
Geez, people, this is open knowledge.
What google does is no magic.
The "Secret" ingredient is not the formula, it's the parts in a formula and the weight a specific SE puts on different parts in the formula.
"Parts?" You ask.
OK... here we go:
Keyword density, keyword count, domain weight, domain length, path length, text length, meta description length, meta keyword count, abstract, link count, neighborhood, ... etc, pp.
Testing Alta Vista (from the outside) was crazy shit, cause their SERPS just change every 2 weeks. What does this tell us? They're constantly playing with their ranking weights.
"Weights?" You ask.
For a given query, a score is calculated. This means you take the score a website gets for one of the parts and multiply it with a weight. So for "keyword in domain" it gets 1 and you multiply it by the weight you give that part, for example 500.
That would be 500 points a domain with the KW gets, that a domain without the KS dows not get.
And that, kids, is why search engines love domains that fit smack in with a keyword.
So.. finding out how google works would mean having access to their ranking formula and then trying to rebuild their SERPs. Bad for you, you don't know what sites are on their blacklists, etc..
So good luck in finding out how the google's exact formula looks.
Want to know how Search engines and rankings work?
FUCKING GOOGLE IT.
