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.
