Well, ask them - they usually answer.

Apart from that they lost my personal credibility whey they dropped usenet  
if favour of hipper stuff like YouTube.  And when all first 20 languages  
where in "danger" to be "A" rank they changed something else. I wrote a  
blog entry about that:  
http://ada-programming.blogspot.com/2008/01/tiobe-january-2008.html.

Also I noticed: "The first 100 pages per search engine are checked for  
possible false positives and this is used to define the confidence factor"  
- the confidence factor for Ada is not publicised.
