If that wasn't enough, Google added huge lists of social search results at the bottom of the second, third and fourth page of results. After the ten regular results, Google shows other ten results from your social circle. Sometimes Google's social results are useful, but that's not always the case. For example, a search for [Firefox 4] returns many outdated pages about Firefox.
It's interesting to notice that social search results need more space than the regular results:
I don't want social search - Can we turn this off?
ReplyDeleteyeah, don't want social search here either, its bound to skew results in an unfavourable fashion, i never took to personalised results either and often sign out to see unbiased serps
ReplyDeleteThe Google +1 is the new social search :) I wonder if it has an effect on ranking :)
