Google Idea: Eureka!
Here's an idea.
It's all about the "search" for information, right? Well, Google knows what I'm searching for, and they know which links I'm clicking on.
If I go to a webpage and don't find the answer, chances are I'm going to search again.
The website which has the answer I'm looking for will likely be the last one I click on during the last time I search for those terms.
Over time, and with a lot of data, they could correlate search terms with websites based upon which ones caused people to stop searching, and raise their rankings.
They could also see which sites caused people to search again, and lower their rankings.
The feature could be called Eureka! (aka "I have found it!")

unless your looking for multiple references or multiple sources of information... then ranking them based on which one you last clicked would only tell you that was the one you last clicked..... or worse you might bias searches to websites that forced you to give up your search completely... the "ohh fuck it i give up"

Perhaps put a eureka button on the browser.
this is really good insight into yet another algorithm factor they should add to get rid of the hideous page rank scheme, this as well as seeing how long people spend at the pages they click on ect. they would be crazy not to include in their algo. I think there should be internet minds like yourself who write out the pseudo code, working with specialists in whatever language their the code is written in (c++ Java ect..) who then translate that. Glad to see the blog back hap!
