Google - the knowledge and the power
Google ist extending their power in a very new way. They redefine searching in the internet by giving pages value depending on how many people visit the page, where they come from and how long they stay.
How do they do this? The key is their Analytics -Knowledge. Because Google-Analytics is the very best website analysis tool - best in content, best in drilling down, best in installation effort, best in cost, best in speed - everybody uses it. And because every webmaster is using Google-Analytics Google knows where the webusers go to.
By using simple statistics Google can relay on their knowledge by at least - let’s say 95%. They know how many websites exist, and they know how many websites are using Analytics. The rest is simple statistics.
So, while all the SEO’s are staring at the pagerank, Google is redesigning their search algorithm. Important is what attracts people, valuable is what keeps them staying a long time, sustaining is what makes them come back. It will be a little bit like yellow press.
In the end, I think all over valuable content for the masses will make the race to the Google Top Ten. What is still necessary to make it perfect for Google is some semantic knowledge. I am keen on Google’s next “free-of-charge” product.
In any case the losers will be msn, yahoo, altavista… they don’t have the Analytics, their search results will stay miserable.

Analytics is overrated - Google is well aware that the inclusion of some statistical propability using a sample where under 5% of given webprojects are known is suicidal for it’s results. In real live, the larger websites do not depend on Analytics, but on Webtrends, a specialized homebrew solution or simple logfile analyzers like awstats.
If Google was out about that, they had implemated something similar with the more widely used Adsense Code.
