Really cool answer. I think it's just awesome to look through these Google videos.
Isn't it just great having the Big G themselves tell us what's going on guys? 🙂

you have to pay google to show up ontop of searches, get ready to pay up big, i know websites paying google amounts such as 50,000 a month for traffic
your hair is growing back….
Screw Google, concentrate on user experience. If that means making a fast loading website then go with it, if it means making a flash heavy website which is slightly slow to use but fun/important for your users, go with that!
…hoping silently Google will address VM cold-start issue on AppEngine soon…
My site is optimised for fast showing the content, not for fast load time. This is a big difference. Compressed delivery, built in CSS, javascript loads only after the content can be displayed by the browser.
I tested with a slow GPRS connection and earsed cache. My site showed up first part of content in 5 seconds, other sites showed a white screen vor 4 minutes.
If Site A and Site B were twins, they's have to be penalized for duplicate content.
