2) Keep it simple – this simple understandable system has allowed them innovate quickly, and it shows.
3) No manual intervention – answer to “Does Google manually edit its results?”.

Well, the above points are the philosophies of Google rankings. But now, it’s all about the technologies behind the rankings for any website in Google results.
