Does this promote the search result I selected locally or globally? I noticed that when I promoted a site and then tried to promote it again, I see: "You are the first person to pick this result." Does this mean that if others promote the same site, it will climb in Google rankings? Is this Google's form of a Digg?
Are you referring to the search results? I noticed that you can promote a site to the first page but I believe that was only to push up sites to the top of searches to make it easier to find them when I searched for that term again. I could be wrong though.
