The Google Algorithmic manner of ranking and serving relevant online and indexed documents to specific Google queries has been a mystery to many over the past decade, with search marketers and mathematicians working to expose the way Google ranks sites.
Here we look at two disciplines of figuring out the workings behind Google, and two concise calculations.
1. The Mathematical Interpretation of the Google Algorithm

2. The Search Marketer’s Interpretation of the Google Algorithm

Well, we don’t always need the $ in the equation, do we?

ok, you did it. Searching for “google algorithm exposed” brings you first. Is there any other point in the article, cuz I couldn’t figure it out
And i thought Henry Blodget loved linkbait. Welcome to the club Loren!
Thanks for the laugh of the day :)
This is great! Definitely seems to be on point! :)
Made me laugh almost as much as Matt Cutts link to the video with more detail about the Google algorithm!
I think the first panel carried pi to one too many places. Duh.
That’s funny and true and the same time. To bad there’s not a web design newspaper cause that’s a winner in the comics section!
now this rocks :-)
Haha, simple terms
Oh, you should add digg button ;-)

Happy digging
Good one for sure. Also Dugg.
Hey is there an RSS feed where I can subscribe to just these comics? I love them.
Awesome, dugg
Awesome post! You got me with your headline. Goodonya!
Cutt’s….funny or true?
what’s wrong with this picture?
@gamermk, sorry, just the normal RSS feed.
Remember guys, these cartoons are parodies and not reflective of fact :)
very good. it´s the best. The really is this.
Hey! This post really made me laugh hard :-)
So Simple!
very good, very very good LOL.
Perfect!
PARA MI LOS DE GOOGLE HICIERON ESTE “CHISTE”
Same old, same old…these social sites are PACKED with geeks who have no purpose outside the realm of social sites, for whom reaching the top of Digg, or Shinn, or Stumble, or blah, or blah, ad nauseam is an end in itself.
Whatever happened to GOOD CONTENT?
It’s all just hooklines, headlines, stringlines, and a million other nothing snag-tags designed to propell geeks to the top of whatever currently fashionable geek social mountain is there to be climbed. Please make it stop, or I might fall asleep and not be able to wake up, it is SO boring…
“I am my brand”. Ridiculously optimistic. Who the heck do y’all think y’all are, y’all?
@ Aeon Huff: I entirely agree with you that unless your website has some substance and is selling a real product, you are not likely to get very far. As this article points out, if everyone is number one on google (for their particular keywords) then people will eventually start clicking on page 2 of google’s list of websites, or even page 3.
“Well, we don’t always need the $ in the equation, do we?”
Unless you just like doing things the hard way.
Might have been better to post this yesterday but let’s have a sense of humor about this. If it was meant as link bait then we should all learn how effective this strategy is. I could learn a few things for my own glass jewelry and art jewelry site. Did you get the irony?
I’ve “got the irony” a million times and must surely be missing something..?
Well This site doesnt Rank #1 or #2 anymore for the keyword – Google Algorithm Exposed

Hmmmm… Nice title, what was the inspiration Loren?
this is old concept i know it . what is new one in 2008
We did a similar SEO cartoon: http://www.bigoakinc.com/rankedhard/the-real-reason-your-site-dropped-in-google/

hahahah I love it.
very funny
Good idea
I really like that’s true
Haha, It is funny and actually make fun of us, who always in search of google algorithm

Well it could be viewed as a regex formula. $=end of string; +=add more of previous, anchor text is all that counts = #1rank. LOL!
