How can an SEO use this information to ones advantage? To me it looks like blog sites now have a distinct advantage in terms of SEO. This scares me, someone badmouthing our company in a blog is likely to outrank our website in the serps when searching for our company name (maybe for a short period). It is time google was made to be accountable. I dont understand how anyone let google become so powerful. In an instance they can ban your site from the google index without telling you why ... and there isnt a damned thing you can do about it. This sort of thing can and has closed companies. I would like to see information about website bans being made public - via osme form of forum. This way the site owner and the community in general would be able to comment and / or resolve issues.

Add in the other big changes over the last 2 quarters at the plex and you will see a bigger picture. There was a PR re-assignment in recent months, paid links became the target of intense prejudice with the google webspam team, they experimented with a digg like feature for the SERPs annonced on the Google Labs blog. Those 4 things tell me that we might be getting another big fat algo change by spring. Why? Google is nefarious for testing things in an incremental fashion, piece by piece. Each of these things are separate pieces that are being fine-tuned. Put it all together, and voila.. an algo change.

That is still true; although Yahoo and Ask offered SESNY 2008 as the first result, Google shows it nowhere.

In the TCP/IP example a savvy spammer setup brand new websites (blogs) which should have zero authority, and zero backlinks which would normally exclude from the index. Websites with no quality incoming links should not be ranked #1, as this example painfully illustrates. Google engineers will hopefully fix this soon so we won't have to worry about zealous wikipedia hackers taking over more search results positions.

Since "Google Universal Search" was launched on May 16, 2007, Google crawls (and indexes) websites with fresh contents in order to show them within the SERPs. Sometimes you can see within the results 5-minute-old pages. Of course, these contents are best ranked because they match better the Google relevance parameters (keywords at title, keywords at URL, ...) and published on websites with relevance (if not, they're not crawled so fast).
