Marissa Mayer, Google’s VP of search products and user experience reveals some interesting facts about Google and its SERP. Mayer once asked Google co-founder Sergey Brin how Google had settled on the clean, white design of its home page. “We didn’t have a Webmaster and I don’t do HTML,” Brin replied. Funny ain’t it?
