I'm pretty sure Google's search results are indexed and ranked according to some algorithm they use and everyone who searches a specific term will get the same results exactly.

There have been instances when sites deliberately try to get themselves to the #1 spot

Not true. I don't pretend to know exactly what their formula is but I am certain that geographic location also plays a part... I am sure there are more factors than that.

Nah, it's true. Yeah, your geographic location plays a part into the targeted ads... not the search/indexing algorithm. Of course, if you search "Best Buy" it'll return Best Buys near you, but the actual page ranking doesn't change.

Academic citation literature has been applied to the web, largely by counting citations or backlinks to a given page. This gives some approximation of a page's importance or quality. PageRank extends this idea by not counting links from all pages equally, and by normalizing by the number of links on a page.

PageRank is defined as follows:
We assume page A has pages T1...Tn which point to it (i.e., are citations). The parameter d is a damping factor which can be set between 0 and 1. We usually set d to 0.85. There are more details about d in the next section. Also C(A) is defined as the number of links going out of page A. The PageRank of a page A is given as follows:
PR(A) = (1-d) + d (PR(T1)/C(T1) + ... + PR(Tn)/C(Tn))

Note that the PageRanks form a probability distribution over web pages, so the sum of all web pages' PageRanks will be one.

PageRank or PR(A) can be calculated using a simple iterative algorithm, and corresponds to the principal eigenvector of the normalized link matrix of the web. Also, a PageRank for 26 million web pages can be computed in a few hours on a medium size workstation. There are many other details which are beyond the scope of this paper.

ISH is #1 because it has the highest classification to the term "basketball" or "nba forum" or whatever you search.
