    New google feature - How will it effect SEO?

    I am not too sure when Google added this but I just noticed it a few minutes ago. There are 3 new user features: "Promote", "Remove", and "Comment". These appear next to each listing in the search results. I assume this is based upon your Google account and it allows them to store the information based on what you prefer to see (Personal search setting so to say). However I tend to think they will also be using this to better judge the overall quality of a website based on surfer opinions.

    So what do you think of this new feature? Will it have an effect on search engine placement, or is it simply an added feature to go along with our Google accounts for a more personal searching enviroment?

    Example:
    Conversion Sharks - 1,000+ adult dating offers, traffic management, and consistently high payouts.

          My guess is that Google will sort or re-order the results from the SERP's based on the user submitted data. I don't see this as a way to improve results and probably just localized to individual users, not a mass scale change. Its too easy to manipulate this for profit that Google will probably just use this data for re-ordering data.

              Are you logged into a Google account? I didn't to too many keywords but to me it looked like they were attached to all of the ranking sites.

              Yeah I would agree. Allowing that into the overall algorithm would be easily exploitable. Everyone would be hitting "Remove" on their competition.

                          Yeah, I don't know. I would think Google would be smart enough to only allow the user that made the change to see their altered search results. Let's hope it doesn't have an overall effect.

                                  As I mentioned in the thread I doubt that Google could give much weight to user submitted data since it could be manipulated. Sites that have been around a long time could get quickly voted down (indefinitely?) while the spammers just register a new domain and vote it up.

                                          how does wikipedia and digg self-organize themselves?

                                          that is the direction goog is moving - ignore at your own risk.

                                              The ways of search engines are changing. Search engines are going to be micro-targeting search results and ads based on individual surfers. This does two main things (as well as many other smaller things to improve surfing experience for search engines, end-users, advertising companies, etc...basically everyone) it makes it harder to spam SE results on a large scale now to gain massive amounts of traffic since each individual users experience and SE results are different, based on their surfing history and recommendations given to Google; and secondly enhances the end-users experience. If you think about it this kills SEO.

                                              The only drawback to this right now is that not everyone can be tracked by Google and other SE's because everyone doesn't log in to their accounts to be tracked and get specialized search results and a user experience, but things are being created to do this like a universal Open ID (one login) for all Internet applications, and gateway devices like the Google phone, Google computer, etc... Of course there's the issue of privacy concerns with companies having your personal data and surfing experiences which is the main roadblock for getting this type of technology pushed.

                                              The bigger picture is alot more complicated and I'm too lazy to actually type thoughtfully on it, but you get the idea.

                                                                  again. think micro-targeting for each individual user.

                                                                      http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=848599

                                                                      As I mentioned in the thread I doubt that Google could give much weight to user submitted data since it could be manipulated. Sites that have been around a long time could get quickly voted down (indefinitely?) while the spammers just register a new domain and vote it up.
                                                                      your looking at it in the wrong way. this voting and commenting is to enhance a users experience and surfing that will NOT be used in general SERP's when someone is not logged in. Google's algorithm will still handle the anonymous surfing portion of SERPs. this is an addition to the algorithms which will re-rank personal results if the user allows themselves to be tracked or are logged into some account which the SE's are trying to come to some sort of agreement on (Open ID, Windows Live ID, or something similar). in the future every person who allows themselves to be tracked with have very different SERP's from the general SERP's for anonymous surfers (this starts killing the SEO industry and SE spamming and making it less valuable if you put some thought into it.)

                                                                      the main roadblock the SE's have is getting these personalized SE results to be used on a large scale by getting people to be logged in because of privacy issues people will be concerned about.

                                                                              Google's trying to stop SE spamming. Doing this will encourage SE spamming by getting people to create thousands of accounts to vote down competition and vote up their own sites. I'm pretty sure Google thought this through already. Unless Google comes up with a way to validate Google accounts as legitimate accounts attached to one person/entity (by providing verified account information like drivers license, cc #'s, etc...) then this won't affect anonymous SERP's. if you think through the logic of it, you still do want legitimate user accounts who are logged in to bookmark your sites or give you good comments because in the future it will rank your site higher in their personal SERP results, because maybe in the forseeable future the anonymous SERP's will become less important than the personal SERP results. you want your site to be get good votes and comments in the user's account, which will equate to you providing unique and good content. creating illegitimate accounts though and voting/commenting is useless, unless people are actually going to be using those accounts to surf.

                                                                              i know the phrase "Content is King" is so played out, but it will be the way of the future to get those valuable individualized SERP results which you won't be able to manipulate.

                                                                              SEO is slowly dying or being buffered out. and anyone who argues this point just can't see the bigger picture (for lack of brain power or short-sightedness).

Its too easy to manipulate this for profit that Google will probably just use this data for re-ordering data.

                                                                                                          Yeah I would agree. Allowing that into the overall algorithm would be easily exploitable. Everyone would be hitting "Remove" on their competition.
                                                                                                          exactly bots would be going wild. at least i know mine would.

                                                                                                              Every time a new page is added to google's index, SEO/SEM become more valuable. The only people going out of business are those who had no bussiness being here to begin with.

                                                                                                                              Every time a new page is added to google's index, SEO/SEM become more valuable. The only people going out of business are those who had no bussiness being here to begin with.
