Some questions: uppgift fyra


How do search engines rank the stuff they find on the internet?
-They are a few different ways, but Google ranks by how frequently other sites link to another website, not by what the website does or donesn't say, although they do of course use what is on the website to determine whether the page is of relevance.


Who, or what, makes one page (that you might get in your search results) more useful than another one, so that it is put at the top of your search results?
-Apparently, some websites are buying massive amounts of links so they show up at the top, when in actual fact the website doesn't have much to offer you in regards to what you've searched.

What are some of your favourite search engines? why do you like one more than others?
-I am a Google user through and through, it's never let me down.
