[Web4lib] OCLC numbers of Google Books?

[Robert L. Balliot]

With Google at around 70% US and 87% Euro searches, 
the mystery of placement drives all of the commercial
SEO strategists to search and research, test and retest
optimization.

It is not only competitive protection, it is a brilliant
strategy that increases use of the Google search engine 
and apparent market share of search. As apparent
market share increases, so does testing to determine
parameters of the algorithm.

No, there is no list of what they've done, keyed to any identifier.
Google resists attempts to understand what they've done and what they
have not. The head of GBS explained this to me as competitive
protection.
