The latest on update Austin points me to another description of the "newer" Google Hilltop Algorithm and it's strategy to find "expert" documents in the web based on content and of-course incoming links….
Interesting that one issue they use for relevancy tracking is Usage Information so actually the knowledge about which search results users actually click on…
That fits perfectly with the observation of Dirson that Google started to have redirect urls in the search-results – basically for tracking on which results the users really clicked… check interesting, huh?
