You are right; Tomorrow Google might come out with a new idea of including these votes in its search result. Every one knows that Google is most surprising search engine. I am sure that this will effect the optimization in any way now or later.

(i need more coffee…i meant 2009, those recent weeks.) Just google “google and branding” and things like that, or visit the bigger SEO sites and you will what i am mumbling about.

The end of seo is NOT coming through that little “search wiki” toy thing..this is rather ridiculous compared to the MAJOR changes which google started in early 90 with their new algor in regards to “branding” (brand favoritism).

In a nutshell: Google made SIGNIFICANT changes to how SEO will be in the next few years.

Cheers,

Very interesting notice, there’re many doubts according to this new Google feature, firstly what is the sense to right comment just for me? If the site really interesting I just bookmark it instead of writing any comments? I thing people go to google for searching but not for commenting and ranging SERP if it really become possible then every one starts to vote against his competitors I mean webmasters

Search wiki will not be a SEO killer for sure. The comments that we make and the promotion of the SERPS are visible to only those who made it. Though Google collects the search wiki data, as entered by the users, it will not have a direct effect in the SERPS. Nice post anyway.

You still find websites on the front page of the SERP’s that seem irrelevant, at the same time there are sites on pages 2 or 3 that provide better information but aren’t aggressively optimised. Therefore I see this ‘experiment’ as a way for Google to use its millions of users to help determine quality content. Of course this will be open to spam and competitor sabotage but Google has good logic and tools to defend against spam.

It’d be a shame if this feature were too prone to abuse, but I don’t think it’s the end of SEO either. But if this feature because truly popular it would be interesting to see how SearchWiki graffiti affected CTRs for organic SERPs.

Search Engine Land did an interview with a Google product manager who said that they wouldn’t close the door on using information gotten from SearchWiki in their search results.

I link to the article from the primer I wrote talking about how businesses are impacted by SearchWiki:

“So they look at which sites will be getting the most votes and give them a boost? Well that would be hugely prone to abuse and I believe if Google did to something like this, they would leave the door wide open for a new search engine to replace them.”

COMPLETELY wrong. If Google does that Google will stay here with us even more. What people like should come first in a search result. Not what site owners want. Go Google go!
