After Google researchers posted a paper last month on the site arXiv.org, an online archive of scientific research, rumors began spreading that Google was working on changing the way it ranks its search results.
Some news sites reported that instead of using the number of incoming links to a web page to calculate the top search results, the company would begin counting the number of inaccuracies in a web page. The more inaccuracies on the page, the lower the search result.
