Here is what they did that I think helped them get to number 1, they made a simple page with a search box, they didnt bombard the surfer with a million links like yahoo and many other engines, they didnt try to do everything.
If you look at successful companies online like ebay and google and many others you will notice they have 1 thing in common, they do 1 thing and 1 thing only and keep it simple.
Even in adult I credit thehuns success for keeping it simple, easy to load etc.
If amazon would just concentrate on book selling and not on selling, toys, electronics, kitchen ware etc they would of been better off financially.

Yes, I agree that Google owes part of its success to the fact that they have kept things simple and poured all their resources into mainly one thing, being the best search engine possible. However, their untainted results are a big part of their success as well. Even with their simple interface, if they provided the same type of search results as Yahoo's directory, or AOL's overture/inktomi results, their traffic would drop off significantly.
Surfers dont want 3 pages of sponsor listed paysites when they go to a search engine and type in "porn pics". The majority of the time they're looking for some obscure free site made by some porn fan that happened to put up 10 pages of free porn pics. These are the type of honest listings Google provides that you will rarely see in Overture results and/or Yahoo's directory.
