The common belief is that Google finds new pages and websites by following links from other websites. This would make sense, but recently I have had two incidents which has led me to believe that good finds new pages by tracking users sits visited OR looking for links in google mail.

Anyway I found this hilarious post from an anonymous source ( I suspect Google) in which you get paid to review search results.
