As I went to Google to perform a search something struck me as different. New icons had appeared next to each of my search results. At first, thinking that I’d accidentally turned on an unwanted Firefox Plugin, it took me a few moments to realise that this was actually a change to the way Google will provide your search results.

Whilst you are logged in to a Google account there is a new feature named SearchWiki, where you now have the option to remove a listing from your results or promote it to the top of your page. If you own or run a website you were probably asking the same question as I was “Will SearchWiki have an effect on SEO and my websites ranking?”.

For the moment at least you can sit back and play around with this feature to your hearts content. Google has stated “The changes you make only affect your own searches.” Anything you do at the moment will only effect the way that you are provided your results. Having said that with so much user generated input on websites that they may never have fully reviewed before it’s hard to see that this won’t eventually play at ;east some factor in search engine rankings.

The obvious things that will stand in the way of this ever being a completely trustworthy way to generate website feedback is the huge opportunity for Spammers. Less than honest webmasters could potentially manipulate search results hugely in their favour and even launch campaigns to crush their opponents.

Another thing to think about if you use AdWords is the potential knock-on effects for your website. If you are not generating great quality content for your users or providing relevant information on your websites you could get knocked from a lot of people’s search results. There is nothing that I’m aware of to stop Google in future using this information to decide on the charges and position of your AdWords Campaigns. After all the ultimate goal of any search engine is to keep their results relevant and therefore profitable.

In conclusion as long as you are providing great value through your website this should not effect you too much and probably won’t in the future. It’s just something to be aware of and can always be used to filter your own search results as long as you have a Google Account. Below I’ve attached the video from the SearchWiki Post on Google’s Blog so that you can take a look for yourself.

Are you constantly trying the latest tricks in Search Engine Optimisation and finding yourself disappointed a week later when they haven’t made the slightest bit of difference? In the online world we’ve all become accustomed to Instant Gratification; news at our fingertips, digital downloads and PPC bringing instant results. With all this progress surely we should be seeing immediate results in SEO?

Whilst most of us wish this was the case, for good reason more often than not it will actually take a while for you to see the results from your SEO efforts. A recent article from SEOmoz reminds both the practitioners and executives that less haste, more speed is the key to successful SEO projects. In fact they continue to say that it is not uncommon for developments on your site to take 6 weeks or more before they fully start to come into play.

What does this mean for the impatient Internet Marketer that wants it all now?

Well the truth is, in this area patience really is a virtue. Just because you are not seeing great results for your organic listings within the first few days and weeks you should not give up hope. Even more important is that you don’t change something a week in because it doesn’t seem to be working.

You may have a great set up and it’s just taking a while for the collections of backlinks to build up and resgiter with the search engines. In addition you may even have to wait weeks just for the Search Engines to crawl your website and register the latest SEO updates that you’ve made on your website.

There are of course many factors that will influence your organic listings and how long it takes for changes to register. If you’d like to read their full article you can find it on the SEOmoz blog by following the link.
