Chris Nolan

On Tuesday, Chris Nolan from the library came to visit us to talk about searching for information, Google, directories, and evaluating websites. I did not how Google gets its most popular results (the results at the top of a search). Apparently, there are many reasons for results being at the top of a search, such as the number of links on the page. I did not know that the only results that are paid for are the small ones in the top right-hand corner of the page under the words Sponsored Links. Also, sometimes the Sponsored links can be in a shaded yellow box above the normal results. It makes me happy that Google does not base the normal results on how much money has been given to them by the person who the website belongs to. Something I found interesting about the presentation is that it is possible to change the language of your Google to Pirates.
