The methodology for this is flawed because people will tend to search for things they have searched for before on Google and then pick Google as the best because they find that ranking more familiar.



I don't think its flawed. How can you say which results belong to Google or any other search engine?


For example I searched for "japan", and expected to find "japan-guide.com". Now I realize the only reason I even know about that site is because it was in my Google results before, so now I grew to consider it the "correct" answer.
