Google falls down flat unless you know "magic words". Example... let's say you want to be able to mark up a web page to highlight some aspect of it, like using a highlighter on a newspaper... you can't google hypertext markup... you have to go for "annotation"

Growing Google-fu is like getting good at smelling bad code, it takes experience, which you get via frustration and the application of gumption.

I've noticed myself scrolling farther and farther down search results. There's so much SEO'd garbage at the top of the fold now.
