I cant see this working for a long time, I agree with the comment about Black Hat also. Thanks for the link to the free ebook also.

Ahh well, I heard about this news and read reviews from leading marketing gurus, but this E-book seems pretty good. As for SearchWiki, it came in but as for the Google datacenter I’m on, it is not active any more and 90% of the google users will not even use it!

I don’t see this as a threat. How many people want to create a google account just to be able to use google as a search engine? My bet is not many. That will be the downfall.

In my opinion there will be a ton of black hat tricks preformed if this sticky site thing is every implemented in Google. Then we will be robbed by black hat seos that disable the back button in browsers or use JavaScript to open a new page when you attempt to close your browser.

Seems like a tragic end to search optimization and a horrifying beginning to more search engine spam! I will definitely be reading the book and praying that this doesn’t take place!

“However I and others find the usability of this approach somewhat lacking, and the comments of other searchers are rarely useful.”

For search results that are highly competitive, it’ll be interesting to see whether the comments shift from neutral to something less benign.

I wrote a primer on SearchWiki for businesses that you might think is interesting. Particularly the section that talks about how people have been using SearchWiki’s comments to talk about Microsoft and Google:

A Google product manager mentioned that they haven’t closed the door on using the info they get from SearchWiki in their results.
