Promote or remove a search result?

    When I search Google I am seeing that I can now promote a search result or remove it, is this something new...I don't remember seeing this before?

    Is this something Google is doing to get "users to vote" on what they think should be ranked (causing the search results to change for everyone eventually) or is it only used for user level customization of search results. Ideas?

    It is called Google Search Wiki, it's personalized.

    Yes, this has been the big worry for people who are in the SEO game, as many people think that ranking is now a thing of the past. IMO, it really won't make too much of a difference, I mean there are thousands of millions of people who won't use a google account, and even if they do, its only in effect, for terms that they have already had preferences for, meaning that if you are at the top usually, you will be at the top the first time around on that search.

    Correct me if I am wrong of course :)

    i igree with nick... you do know what your talking about nick :) i have read a lot of your replies and im impressed :). yes google is sending out the message that this will be a standard feature that all searchers will have, but i think google would like us seo peeps to all panic and i would say dont as google has shown many times that they would love it if we seo experts would change field and give up. google loses a lot of money bkoz of seo, they want our clients to use ppc . :)
