Google Acquires Algos 
By: Gab Goldenberg 2010-07-22 Just saw this piece via the ever-industrious Bill Slawski: Googles Acquisition of MetaWeb & its Named Entities technology. Myself and others have noted how exact match domain... ... names were getting impressive boosts just for being exact matches. I asked Aaron Wall about it, and apparently their SEO Book private forums got some good discussions on it. One idea Aaron favoured from those discussions was the idea that Google has trouble distinguishing between legit brands and entities with generic names. Hence boosting exact matches, to help small brands out. From what I understood of Bill Slawskis overview, a Named Entity is basically a proper noun. Remember Grade 2 English class? Yep, the interwebs g33k3d out proper nouns with full-on algos to better index data about them and so forth. Check out Bills post for more, and share your thoughts there or here on what this acquisition means for future ranking fluctuations.
