When it comes to search on the Internet there is Google and then there are the other search engines. There are many who claim to know the secrets of Google's search algorithm and I am sure that there are people that are not beholding to Google that possess some insight into Google's search algorithm however the vast majority of the claims regarding the secrets of Google's algorithm found in cyberspace today are at best theories which lack substance. Over the years Google has repeatedly claimed that their index cannot be manipulated but it has been proven time and time again that manipulating Google's index is not only possible Google's index can and is manipulated as a matter of course by many individuals and organizations. Additionally, it can now be argued that Google itself manipulates its own index with the Personalized Search feature that Google extended to all users in 2009.

One of my fondest memories is watching the filming of the original "Hawaii Five-O" series (1968 to 1980) while waiting for a ride to Ford Island.
The ride to Ford Island took us past the Arizona Memorial then on to Ford Island itself. The south shore of Ford Island was known as Battle Ship Row. This was the route we took each day to the office. Each and every day we passed right by some of the brass plaques that mark the spots where the eighteen battleships that were sunk by the Japanese during World War II.
