I kicked ass on “How does google work”

Well, I’m giving my self some kudos, and I kick ass. Out of 18 Million pages, I made it to number 9, which is the front page of Google on the phrase “how does google work”. I have bumped back to 14, but Google is a moving target, so I’ll be back up.   I originally wrote a paper for my MBA class on the subject titled, “Google: How does it work?”, which goes into more detail about the company and their business plan, than into search theory.  You can read my “Google: How does it work?” paper (pdf) here.  My page is also ranked very high on this other phases, “how does google stock look“, number 2 after Yahoo(odd).

So if you want to know more, read my work.
