I just wrapped up my presentation on Search Engine Algorithms - it went very well, although I would have liked more time to spend on the Search Engine Ranking Factors document from last year. I think that we might revive that soon and bring up the number of people surveyed to 50 or even 100 to get more normalized results.
In addition, although I said I wasn't going to do this, I'm linking to the copy of my presentation from the session. It's in Flash and the links don't actively work, but it's still a good overview and a positive resource for those who had trouble reading or copying down my slides - Rand on Search Algorithms at SES NYC.
The cartoons included might be a bright spot for folks, as the remainder of the material is a bit dry without the narrative walkthrough.

Great Stuff Rand :)
The search engine ranking factors article was great. Would love to see another pumped up version this year.
Loved the search engines with teeth cartoon, printed it out and pinned it to my wall already ;-)
And I second Donna - yea what about the cheatsheet???
Rand's cheat sheet was very popular, and the cartoons are brilliant. Great presentation, Rand.
Cute cartoons! Noticed on the last page of the presentation, you mentioned picking up a cheat sheet. Any way the rest of us can get that? I'm tired of writing the answers on my hand. :)
