I LOVE Google Desktop to bits; it let me do away with organizing files completely. (Well not completely, but almost. I still keep the dirty pics and videos in the "System Files" folder.)<br /><br />I can't wait to see how much Google Chrome OS will make life easier. It aspires to keep even old PCs running as fast as new, and to completely remove the hassle of backing up files.<br /><br />Although, I hope they make it available for download and not just packaged in 'netbooks', as I don't really want to buy another computer.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/614388937036098993-3338525619012478253?l=seo-monster.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>J.

They appear as little buttons that appear after each result.<br /><br /><img src="http://img118.imageshack.us/img118/2461/newbuttons.jpg" /><br />What do these do? The comment button obviously lets you write a few little comments under each result. The Promote button shoots your site up to the #1 spot, but don't get your hopes up--at least, not yet. It'll only appear like that for you. Same with the Remove button--it removes a site from your SERPs. It seems that these buttons are just extensions of the existing search options.<br /><br />Or is it? What if Google actually collects this data and counts how many people promoted or removed your site?<br /><br />What does this mean for SEO? Assuming the above were true, then it's as if Google is becoming a Digg of sorts, which is a double-edged sword. It's good because there's even more human input than before when it comes to SEO. It's bad because all the link building and other 'traditional' SEO techniques everyone's been using will become worthless, and any other future efforts.<br /><br />Whatever the case, I'm fairly certain that it will at least play a role in SEO in the future.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/614388937036098993-3319974013937400783?l=seo-monster.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>J.
