Search Rank Confusion Email coming in since my discussion about search engines on radio a couple of nights ago reveal fundamental misunderstandings about how search results are ranked and the dangers of black-hat SEO. The number of people telling me that they had no idea previously about how Google actually ranks results -- most assuming they were pay for rank -- is disturbing and suggests Google has not been adequately educating the public at large -- beyond the techie community -- about the facts.
