Google SearchWIKI experiment
Google just experiment with social community search engine. May be google want to compete with Microsoft search engine feature named U Rank that make live search engine has social networking feature such as vote for a search result and comment for a search result. Google doing experiment on Search WIKI, it is a new feature that allowing searcher to vote and comment on a site on search result page.
SearchWIKI allowing searcher to input a comment on a site on SERP and also voting on it. The result is the site that has more vote will appear more higher on ranking. So you can decide which site is actually more important for you. More important mean it will appear more higher on your search result. Ya, this ranking is only valid on search result page.
Does this new feature will change google ranking algorithm? According to some bloggger, it is probably google will use this data on their algorithm to eliminate spammer on their search result page. But don’t worry know this feature is still on experimental phase.
You can check this new feature by adding “&swm=2” on search query. But for testing vote and comment feature are only available to some searchers that selected by Google. Example query is
http://www.google.com/search?q=google&swm=2
I see many Busby SEO Test participant worried about this thing. They worried if this feature can affect their contest ranking. But for me is no worry because it is still natural on searcher point of view and when doing seo we must always thinking about searcher perspective.
