    GOOGLE may change the SEO game drastically

    this was part of another thread, but I thought it was important enough to start a new thread, as changes in google's algorithm can have a huge impact on so many people's business here:

    Interesting that they just bought Digg and the article says "Digg style voting" on search results. Pretty soon we will see job postings for people that can Google-Digg your search results millions of times.

        with that and the use of bounce rates, I think the affiliate business is in for some major troubles in the future... or at the very least, some major changes

              guess they could, depends how google handles that....

              youtube as a whole ranks very well in the search engines, even though a ton of the content on youtube is "stolen"

              (but they will take it down if you notify them for each instance, kind of like the way the stolen content forums get away with it nowadays with dmca, they will take down content if they are served with the dmca info, but take one down and put 10 new ones up it just goes on and on)

                Seriously, where user-submitted voting will determine your listings.
                I can't wait for it to come out and even looking more forward to seeing how fast abuse will come with the change.

                  I don't get it. Democracy doesn't work for politics, why would it work for SERPs?

                    yeah, digg became a joke in no time, I'm not looking forward to it... never had the stomach for the whole 'network with a 100 of your third world buddies' to abuse the digg system kind of thing

                      I'm definitely looking forward to it, if they manage to get it right.

                      My mainstream sites all use user-friendly, high quality content. So, the less splogs competing with me for rankings, the better

                            i doubt they'd bail on their algorithms altogether in exchange for this

                            i'm sure they will just tweak their algorithms to take the data into consideration so that it can't be totally abused

                              it will be interesting for mainstream, right now the goal is to get the users and hope they click on ads in a hurry, with a digg type system the goal will be to get and keep the surfers

                              wonder how it will monetize though, I know my mainstream sites that have the best user loyalty and bookmark/type-in retention are some of the worst as far as monetisation... users that love your site and stay and keep coming back never click on ads

                                      until they changed their biz plan
                                      to focus on paid inclusion.

                                      i remember chatting with yahoo's

                                        I am wondering if we saw a tweak in the algorithm in the last week or so in regard to bounce rates already... I just noticed that a site of mine that I (stupidly) have in google analytics has lost half of it's google traffic this week (that had been steady for nearly a year now), and it coincidentally also has a really high bounce rate.

                                        Other seo factors for the site have actually improved in the last month, so it really disturbs me to see this site go downhill so drastically.... and it makes me wonder if this is just a start by Google of a big push for "content" (in the way that they measure it no matter how flawed) over everything else we traditionally think of in seo?

                                          that is true - seeing the shit results of the latest upstart engines makes google's results look golden - warts and all.

                                          but then again you have to keep the legions of phd's employed there doing something.

I just noticed that a site of mine that I (stupidly) have in google analytics has lost half of it's google traffic this week (that had been steady for nearly a year now), and it coincidentally also has a really high bounce rate.

                                            Other seo factors for the site have actually improved in the last month, so it really disturbs me to see this site go downhill so drastically.... and it makes me wonder if this is just a start by Google of a big push for "content" (in the way that they measure it no matter how flawed) over everything else we traditionally think of in seo?

                                                Ebay purchased StumbleUpon.com right? They should try a search engine. Google's too important and needs some serious competition. I think it'll take a lot more than great search results to do it.

                                                  There are already so many ways to destroy your competition in the SERPS, this one just begs to be exploited as it's the most direct way possible. I don't see any way Google can control it.

                                                    I don't see how it's "social voting" if it's a per-user thing. Where does it say - besides the article - that the results may be applied to the basic algorithm in the future?

                                                    I remember one of the search engines experimented with clickthrough ratios to help rank results, but that was quickly exploited. MSN? Ask? One that wasn't Google, anyway. :D

                                                      One question is, if you have a site that's going to appear in the SERPs of users who are savvy enough to be able to choose to block them, does that blackban stay indefinitely? This could hurt established sites in the long run. On the flipside, spammers will just register new domains so that they appear in the SERPs again.

                                                                            the sites that I started recently seem to bahave a bit diiferently, I have the feeling that the sites that the users love more (spend more time on the site etc) rank better

                                                                            may be it's just paranoia ;)

It will be all of 2 days before you see "Get 2000 Google Votes for $29.99" type shit postd on every webmaster forum on the net. Positions will get raped hard. Piracy forums, tubes, and stolen content sites will reign supreme. Negative vibes all over that idea...

                                                                                              I remember one of the search engines experimented with clickthrough ratios to help rank results, but that was quickly exploited. MSN? Ask? One that wasn't Google, anyway. :D
                                                                                              It was Direct Hit. And yes, I find it highly likely that digg style voting will be used for personalized results rather than an integration into the overall algorithm.

                                                                                              When you are logged into your Google account, they will use YOUR input from voting sites up or down to learn the types of sites that YOU like so that can deliver results tailored to your personal preferences. The toolbar data though is definitely in play in a big way.

                                                                                                The affiliate business is to get traffic, and send it to sponsors. Maybe the way some get traffic will change, but that does not mean there is trouble in the affiliate business.

                                                                                                It will get rid of the idiots that don't really know how to play the game, that's all.
