Does anyone know anything about these google tools. If you press the arrow up it will show your promoted website as NR1 but I am guessing it shows only for you. Anyone knows more details about this ? And how can we make more use of it ? I am sure the is a way for webmasters to benefit out of it... Please share your thought and ideas…. I just promoted my www.EuropeWord.com lol
I don't know if there might be a secret Google control panel you could hack that would let you apply the opposite of a penalty on all your sites e.g. say +30 for all search terms. Kind of like what Google did for Wikipedia! Eric
I'm really scared about how these changes will affect the SEO industry - Google is becoming more and more user orientated
Just login to your GOOGLE WEBMASTER TOOLS and look at you indexed pages. There you will have that option.... + as long as you are login, you can do ANY search on google and it will show the same arrows )promote ) for any website. ANY IDEAS???????????????????????
I feels good to "remove" my competitors and see their site dissapear in a puff of smoke! (yes you really see this). I'm sure that the ranking change only effects my computer. It looks like the future of Google search is that every computer will display different/custom results. I have two computers and I only see it on the one that I was logged-in to Adsense on.
Read the offical google blog post about it at: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/searchwiki-make-search-your-own.html supposedly it does not effect other users search results.
I would think it doesn't effect it directly but it may effect the ranking, if not today maybe in the future.
And that's exactly the way it's supposed to be. Just sit back and watch the quality rise to the top. Yep. If your sites provide first class content then you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
Definitely! Google cares more about its users so that it continues to remain the number 1 search engine and second to none in the industry...
If you're practicing white hat seo, then you are giving the searchers what they are looking for, that's what it's all about. If you are tricking or promoting garbage then it would be deserved wouldn't it?
You must login to promote website, i've just promoted my site Is this dangerous (you promote your site)?
I'd be worried that someone could organize a negative voting campaign to remove their competition. I'm it wehn I searching and I'm logged int my google account (ie | My Account | Sign out) showing in window.
It is just for each individual user. Nothing SEO related. Come on... It would't be that easy. Too many people would take advantage of it.
