Red face Is Google slowly converting into Social Bookmarking Site with an Advance search ?

Hello,

I was just searching on Google.com and found something really strange.

I searched for a keyword "seo" and found that there are three image links in every single search result.

a) Promote the search engine listing [↑]
b) Move the search engine listing to the bottom [X]
c) Add a comment on the listing [Comment Cloud]

It looks bit strange because it is just giving an impression of a social bookmarking site with advance search option.

Do lemme know your thoughts regarding this new feature of Google.

This feature (SearchWiki) is implemented live only on Google.com and it could get implemented on countrywide search results of google.

It was being discussed in the past, but last night I actually saw this feature on Google.com live while making search for certain keywords. It is more important to see this feature live in action urself to decide whether it is useful or not.

Everything looks perfect from White Hat SEO viewpoint, but if Google is planning to use this data to decide future rankings of your site then it could be a big big problem.

It will only open new doors of SPAMMING for BLACK HAT SEO's as they will work hard to artificially manipulate search results.

There are evidences that Google could be using traffic log data from Google analytic and from within Google toolbar to decide which websites should rank on the top #1 slot and which one on Pages 5-10 (approximation).

If this feature is synchronized with the actual ranking algorithm then it will create whole lot of BLACK HAT SEO opportunities. Most of the search engine users will have little idea about the real functionality of this feature, whereas most of the BLACK HAT SEO's will explore every single BLACK HAT opportunity to pull down competitor sites.

I can only wish that Google does not use this data to manipulate rankings ( unless and until the site is really bad with plenty of spam content).
