How to Get a Guaranteed #1 Ranking on Google!

posted on July 15, 2008


"Psst! Kid, wanna be number one on Google? Guaranteed?"

While many companies have heard similar snake oil pitches, it might soon become possible to ensure your web site is #1 in Google–albeit for your browser only.

Eight months after it was originally spotted in the wild, Google’s Digg-like voting buttons have returned, this time with a new look. Here’s what was sent to TechCrunch:

Google’s always testing new features, so don’t expect to see this in your results anytime soon. But, when you do, you’ll be able to honestly tell your SEO client, "Well, I’m seeing you in the #1 position, want me to send you a screenshot?"

Of course, you wouldn’t do that, would you? ;-)

    Wow! Once again, and I may sound like a broken record, it’s great to see Google (share holder) expanding it’s grasp on the internet. Why not utilize all the users to build a better search engine? Beat that algorithm SEO wizards…. Oh wait, it’ll be done as soon as this hits the mainstream, if it ever does.

    So now the snake oil lot will tell their clients to vote up their site so the client will see themselves as #1 while in fact they languish in the backwaters.
