I guess i am interested in if peoples choices have an effect on page ranking. When i read the link to search wiki, it said that the results are personal to the individual account. So, does google take your preferences into account or not i wonder when looking at page ranking?

I personally don’t like Google’s SearchWiki much. I’m always on the lookout for new sites (new info) related to my search queries and don’t like that any website I previously tagged (maybe for other keywords) has to always show on top.

Haha, ok I stop tagging .. but still!

I do like how the Wiki has a line that says: "6 others found this result useful".

In the short term, I don't think this will really affect rankings. But as the adaptor crowd move from the niche "pro" users, it should have a positive impact on the quality of results.

Hi, the link that belongs to “tricking others into linking to them” doesn’t work. I’d be interested.

Yeah Stuart, the idea rocks. It’s in the early stages though and they’ll have to improve it.

I thought they’d rather buy StumbleUpon than implementing something themselves but they did and this time they’re keen on making main stream unlike with Google Bookmarks and the likes.

I love new Google SearchWiki, it definitely is making great strides in the right direction and I look forward to seeing what it will become capable of. I do recommend that they rip off Wikipedia’s content publishing admin rules to some extent though, otherwise a lot of abuse will take place. Looking forward to seeing what happens though :)
