In summary: I have no idea why.In summary, Google has updated their algorithm and the layout of the site. The layout change is confusing because it removed links to directory categories.

Today I finally moved to Google.com, after realizing it is the site I probably use the most every day. Besides, it's easy to load so I don't have to wait ages every time I open a new browser window.

What's your home page?

I noticed the layout changed slightly. I didn't know they changed the algorithm. Lemme check...

...Wow. My site ranks at number six now. This algorithm change is great. I don't see why you don't like it, Monique.

Because now if I try to find something, I can't find any reasonable information anymore! They changed the algorythm so that .edu sites have a higher ranking or that if the name is in the URL it gets a high ranking too. I don't know.. just doesn't work for me.

They also removed the links to directory categories when you search for some popular term.

Google. When I am not on PF I am usually browing around on Google. I am suprised that many people do have Google on their homepage, otherwise it'd probably be Yahoo or something along those lines.

Google is the bomb but to have a little fun try the mirror to find it just search for google mirror :cool:

That's pretty trick, but they need to get the letters backwards to make it totally authentic.

I like it to come up quickly so I can get where I'm going quickly.

Google seems to be much worse this morning. There is no longer an option to display all search results related by website domain name. Searches that used to return hundreds of hits now only return five or so.
