Google rules. Google is God. All else is a pale imitation of Google.
Google works this way: the more sites link to yours, the higher your
rating is. The higher a site's rating is, the more credit you get for
its being linked to you.
This works far better than even the guy who dreamed it up could have
hoped or expected or dreamed. It works wonderfully well. It is Adam
Smith's Invisible Hand turned loose on information.
If you don't have a Google tool-bar installed on your browser, your
life is slower, more complicated, and less rewarding than it might
otherwise be.
Besides, Google has the simplest, most elegant home page on the web.
It consists of 38 words. Go look:
