There was an article in the Ct-Magazin (German) where they took a closer 
look at this rankings.
For example:
- search for 'C'    you got 3080 M
- search for 'Java' you got  167 M

'Java' only competes with the island Java
'C'    competes with C&A, c't-Magazin, C-Quadrat, C+C, char 'c', ...
        and many many more ....

So, to correct this, only the first *100* (hundred) results are reviewed 
and the resulting factor applied to the sum of results.
Just look at 1-100, then at 101-200, 201-300 and so on ..
You get complete different factors.

So this numbers at tiobe are really lying!!!!!!
