@tedster: interesting approach with the AI theory. You mean like:

1st: basic algos applied
2nd: basic filters applied

then let speed, time on page, clickthrus, etc. influence the ranking in real time over time?

Sounds interesting, but I doubt this methodology is real AI, because of the massive amounts of data. It is an interesting aspect, though that the movements of the masses influence rankings for keywords.

On the other hand: The masses very often make very bad decisions - let me tell you that as a German!
