Hi

We all have a good idea of what's in Google’s algorithm. Matt C alluded to the fact there are over 200 variables in it. We attempted to create a list [webmasterworld.com].

However I was wondering if you had control of the algorithm, what you'd do different? Where are the flaws?

Mine surrounds the lack of punishment for "Paid Links". If I can tell which of my competitors are buying links, surely Google can tell.

In addition, feedback is important. I know it's improving in Google'’s WMT but it’s too little and too slow.

Regards
Donal
