This is what they mean by Popularity: (just click 'Learn more' in the Search Builder->Results ranking view)
"To add emphasis to sites by the number of other sites that link to them, move the middle slider up."

You're quite correct, please accept my apologies! I made an assumption about this which I should not have done.

I still think its great giving people the option.

Something msndude might want to know; the description of how these sliders work are incorrect. 1 and 3 should be swapped:

1)To modify your search to add emphasis to sites that have been recently added to the search index, move the first slider up.
3)To put the most emphasis on the match between your exact search words and your results, move the third slider up. This will de-emphasize the two other rankings as search parameters.

Unless it is my sliders that are mixed up and not the description :-)
