Re: Social Search
Sense you are the one that was at the conference I am hoping you can shed a little more light on this one. BTW I will be at PubCon in Nov and would love to meet you if you are going.
Sure that works for wikipedia as someone else can delete a link that they feel is commercial or off topic. But Myspace? del.icio.us? and many others everything is controlled by one person and is no different than their own blog or personal website.
To test this we could easily organize 20 (or more) agents to start a Myspace account and link to each other. Or 20 agents to bookmark each others sites on del.icio.us (as a side note I have at least 20 agents sites bookmarked on my computer and i know many of them have my site bookmarked so this wouldn't really be a manipulation, just a change in location of the bookmarks). In your opinion would these activities help our rankings?
Also I am pretty sure that a few of us could get link from wikipedia as we actually have local content that is useful. I just think it would be best if someone other than the site owner added the link. Again not all that hard and I am more than willing to work on this if it seems like this really is where things are going.
