Want Better Results Than Google? Suggest Webpage Link To Google

Mike Grehan writes about a new feature first seen on Google.co.uk.

Apparently while searching for 'digital cameras' in the British Google site, at the end of the SERP was a box saying:

“Know of a better page for digital cameras? Suggest one!”

Now, after selecting the option, the message changes to:

“Next time, we’ll place it up top for you, with this marker: *”

Grehan writes, "Yes, you get to input the URL of a favourite page on the query subject, click the button and , of course, you're taken to your Google account to log in to your personalized search. Next time you search for digital cameras, your favourite page is up top with a little marker."

Seeing the pointless ness of this feature, Joe Dolson writes:

"So…if you already know of the best resource, why are you searching in the first place? The only value I can really see to this is to hope you can game the search engines — and that's a pretty dubious perk. I suppose you could use it as a sort of pseudo-bookmark resource in your Google account."

I think its permanent, until and unless you go and remove it from your personalized search history.

I'm embarrassed to admit that the thought "if you know the best site, why are you searching for it" had eluded me until reading this. Good find.
