I would trust google page rank :)  Thank is about the best advice I can 
give.

Remember that a build order is a just a guideline - you need to be able 
to quickly deviate - if you are doing a Zealot rush for instance and 
then discover that your enemy is terran and has decided to go mad gay 
firebats.


You can build exactly the same things as a world class player, but if 
your micro and macro management skills aren't up to speed - you are 
going to lose.

Skills like being able to expand while controlling an attack are much 
more useful than which building is built in which order.  I'm not saying 
BO doesn't matter at all - just that it is very easy to focus too much 
on something that isn't going to help you much.

Stuff to look for in guides:

More than specific build orders - or god forbid, exactly how many peons 
to make before constructing building X - look for strategies on counters 
for specific unit combinations and different attack groups.

Look for replays from world champion players.

Hope that helps
