    Default Google file patent for news ranking

    Google is constantly looking to improve search
    Google is planning to improve online news searches.
    A patent filed in the US will allow stories to be ranked according to their quality, rather than just by relevance.

    The patent would create a system to compare the track record and credibility of different news sources, New Scientist magazine has reported.

    The database would weigh up a series of variables, including story length, number of staff employed and amount of traffic to its website.

    source/full story: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4508637.stm

    So I can write a 4 page news article and possibly be ranked higher? I wonder how this works for a lot of the open source software programs like postnuke that have a main body and a readmore body.

    Doesn't bbc stand for big bull crap?

    I guess anythings better than repeated news on Michael Jacksons nose and Martha Stewart ignoring house arrest.

    Maybe we will create a home made script for news and we will go up in Rank )
    I think that this will not happend to increase in rank in this way.

    Please don't invade my country now.

    I've never looked at them as a news source but will be lurking on their site over the next few weeks to see if what you say is true.
