Wikipedia Tops For Just About Everything

Go ahead type in any single letter of the alphabet into a google search box. Think it highlights an algorithmic bias that wikipedia is listed top 10 for every one. Sure no one really searches for the “a” but when you play on the fringe you learn things about how an algo works. Still not convinced try the numbers 0-10 … still think I’m not onto something … try it with [aa] and go to [zz] the only one wikipedia doesn’t rank for are [ee] and [tt]. Want more proof try [00] or [11] or [22] or just make up some 3 digit number like [897] or [396] … sure the wiki should absolutely be ranking for all those terms … right
Perhaps I should just search using Wikipedia. Cut out the middle man

There a definite bias toward Wikipedia in Google ... nice to see it clearly around the edges of search ...

Just not sure why Google weight Wikipedia so highly ... what's in it for G?

It's not that there's anything in it for G, it's just their algorithm. For a lot of search phrases, I think G's link weighted algorithm turns up much crappier results than Yahoo and MSN/Live.

Thanks for the heads up Nick. But the G is the one that makes all the money from the crap

Cheers

Wikipedia has Google Trust that's why whenever you search for some keywords the Wiki is on top... And Wikipedia has the almost complete compilation of word meanings etc...

Also there are plenty of contributors in Wikipedia sites (lots of editors)...Which gives or contributes all necessary informations for the site(wikipedia) ...
