Best Answer

Only Google employees know the exact algorithm for ranking the hits for a search term. Likely elements of the ranking are: * The frequency and relative place of the search terms in the hit document. * PageRank - How valuable the hits seem according to the pages who link to them. * Recency - newer pages usually rank better. * General Information Retrieval techniques such as stemming and tokenization See Udi Manber's blog post in the related link to get a feel for other factors.
