Google’s Search Wiki

Posted by Matthew Berman On November - 22 - 2008

I just noticed that Google has finally implemented their Search Wiki. I am not sure if this is just for a select number of users for now, but it seems like a pretty cool feature. Basically, it is like a Digg (ratings) system for Google’s search results. I see a lot of potential for manipulation however. I have a feeling Google’s ratings system doesn’t hold too much value in the overall formula but rather it is more for personalized search. Instead of the ratings results affecting the overall rankings, I think it just affects the individuals. Below is what it looks like. Just to be sure, is everyone else seeing this?

I do that stuff for them and we have been scripting some huge changes. Wait tho, bit ad rate changes across the board coming. GoG has us working a a massive increase in ad rates to match the new specs on popularity and hits. Expect 20% increase. My suggestion? Jump ship NOW!
