Google SERPs will Kill Discovery

    The Google Blog posted yesterday an announcement that they have switched to personalized search results for users who are not signed into Google. These results are determined by the users behavior on a particular machine using cookies.

    Let's look at the definition of SEARCH: to uncover or find by examination or exploration

    How can one "explore" new information when the results will be based on what the user already knows?

    This is a sad day for search...not to mention SEO's.

    Google can start to prioritise what you see based on whatever they want!

    If your site has good quality, you shouldn' be worried at all...

    Can't agree more with your SearchBliss but it's been discussed over a year ago and was expected tho :(

    Take a look at this video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhodb-Mx4bM

    For me it's just awesome, that became for more accurate for when we searching base on search history.
