Wow, what is this new innovation? Pretty cool I must say. Do you think my website will rank higher if I start commenting my own website and promoting them with different google accounts? haha btw id you don't know what I'm talking about, just go to www.google.com (be sure to be logged in with your google (gmail) account) and search for any keyword, you'll notice the change instantly.
From my understanding, this new "promotion" feature only effects your account. If you promote or remove a site from your personal listings, it has nothing to do with another persons SERPs.
thats good, because this could really screw up other competitors seo... or mine. ORIGINAL STORY: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7740815.stm GOOGLE RELEASE: http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/searchwiki-make-search-your-own.html
