Sylvie,

Socially directed search…what a novel concept. Let every person determine for themselves what’s relevant to them and what’s not…and set ads (read: Adwords) on the page according to that search…hmmm

And thanks Sylvie…I am glad to be here.

hey Joseph! Great to see you here.

Yes, that’s exactly what I think. I think Google is paying close attention to how people use the net, and this is their early test in social “voting” on search results.

It will be cool to see how it all pans out

Great job on the site Sylvie and Michel.

Could this be Google’s way of split testing “social search” vs. “algorithm search” ???

Hmmm.…

Thanks Sylvie. Great video review. Never even heard of this.

I could see this being valuable in the case of where one has a loyal following. For example, one of my alt. health clients has a big following loyal readers who keep up with his daily blog posts. I think he could just go ahead and ask them to log into Google, promote his site and a leave a favorable comment.

Sure, he could “bribe” them with an offer. But that sort of takes away from it being an voluntary review. Sounds like paying people — and would deserve a Google Slap, imo. I think it makes more sense to just constantly give a lot, so that when you ask for a favour like this, the readers (or listeners or viewers — depending on your medium) are happy to respond.

Well I knew that you were a bright lady, but just how bright I didn’t know! WOW! I am going to enjoy listening to you on the show! This is great information. I noticed those little boxes and I had not clue what they did. I did figure out I can post comments and so I have been doing that knowing that people will read them tehehehehe!

If it is true they will push the rankings themselves, thank goodness! I am not a fan of social bookmarking. I was watching a video the other day about India’s love affair with google…now I can see why!

This is all new to me but makes a whole lot of sense. Would be a fool not to implement what you suggest. And thanks for coming back and letting us in on your last minute find about the comments,

Boost your rankings in 2009!

Always Grateful,
Andrea

WOW!!! What a great video. Someone mentioned this to me this morning and I had no idea what they were talking about. When Google makes changes it it important that we all stay on top of them or all your hard earned SEO work will go down the drain. It has happened several times in the past when Google has changed the algorithm and people lost a lot of money when they didn’t adapt their methodology quick enough.

This was a great post.
I wonder if we will see wiki buttons on web sites in the near future, so you can post a comment on your search more easily.
