How does Google rank pages? -- "We update our index every four weeks. Each time we update our database of web pages, our index invariably shifts: We find new sites, we lose some sites, and sites ranking may change. Your rank naturally will be affected by changes in the ranking of other sites. You can be assured that no one at Google has hand adjusted the results to decrease the ranking of one site or increase the ranking of another. Google's order of results is automatically determined by several factors, including our PageRank algorithm." (Comments: Google actually seems to be updating their index about once every day or two. Amazing!)
