It looks like Google is playing with an experimental new search system that works a lot like Reddit (or Digg) in that you can vote up or down various search results depending on their relevance to you. It seems like this idea is only going to happen per a user so it isn’t going to be something that can be manipulated as much as it sounds that it could. Although if they do eventually implement something like this I could see part of their algorithm pulling rankings from a system like this to decide on what is worth reading and what is not.This could very well change the dynamics of the SEO world by adding even more social media interaction to the field then before. Just like with the way that there are Chinese companies that mine for gold on the popular online gaming system World of Warcraft. I could see them setting up hundreds of Google accounts and voting up and down various web sites to the highest bidders.

This is obviously still in Google Labs and may never see the light of day but it could be interesting if this service did come to fruition. It would definitely change the search landscape.
