Some of the major issues faced from the client side are
1) They need guaranteed top listings for their keywords.
2) They are not ready to make design changes to their website to make it SEO friendly.
3) When a keyword drops a 1 or 2 positions after a Google update, they start complaining over this.
4) They want only flash files on all the pages and expect better SERP.
5) They are not ready to make the site rich with content related to their main keywords.
6) They have a small site and have 25 keywords. They need top ranking for all the 25 keywords.

The above list contains only few, but there are still more.

I personally can’t see this having any SEO impact at all upon any site. In a PR world, it might be a little useful for smaller sites, but still very dubious at best!

Really interesting insights Tad.

I’ll test this across a few clients sites for a month or two and try and document any changes.

Mind you, if this gets out to the general SEO forums – you can bet it will be tried by 1000’s with the possible consequence that Cutts and Google pull it – especially if it was a secret contributor to SERPs.

Mark: Until now he kind of neglected SearchWiki comments on his own domain. I think account history will be considered as one of several factors. Account activity as well I guess.

Mike: Indeed SearchWiki hasn’t got prime time yet. It’s below the radar for the average user but the important people, the early adopters, power users, decision makers, the linkerati already use it. Also Google won’t tell us how or when they’ll use if for actually ranking the main results. Before spending money on a website I’d probably look up the SearchWiki comments about it.
So especially if you have an ecommerce or business to business site you should care.

Like yourself, I was quite excited at the launch of the SearchWiki and the idea that it might be a great new tool for optimization. The problem here is that most Google users are probably completely oblivious to it. Sure SEO’s, Social Gurus, and the like are aware of it’s presence, but is the general public actually paying attention to this stuff?

It’s also important to note that Google said with the launch of the SearchWiki that the only way that votes and such would have any sort of impact would be with a substantial number of votes. How substantial was never mentioned, but considered to be in the hundreds or thousands to have any sort of impact.

While SearchWiki can surely increase visibility a bit to those using it and logged in to Google I don’t think it’s mainstream enough to have any significant impact on SEO efforts and increasing your overall visibility to the general public.

Matt Cutts will have fun trying to moderate those comments! I wonder whether account history be used to define whether it’s a comment from a genuine user?
