Google Released New Personalized Search Feature by Karl Sultana

Google released new features for personalized search. So first you need to have a Google account, which is free and then login.When going to Google.com you can customize the search results. You can move sites up or delete them - put notes next to sites or suggest sites to the results.Truly personalized search results for research purposes is a great feature.

Say you are researching websites to buy food for dogs. So you login to your Google account and go to Google search engine.

Type in dog food or some similar keyword and start checking in the websites. You find one that sucks, because they do not take paypal payments. So you can delete it from the search engine results.

You find one that has the brand of dog food you want, but it's out of stock. So you put a note next to the website (by clicking a small icon in search results)... saying something like: good but out of stock!Say your friend recommends to you a dog store where you can find and buy dog food. So you can add it to the search results (to check it in future)... you can also put a note next to it like: recommended by friend, check it out.So that is just a simple example, but for big researches for school or something like that - it has very handy features other search engines don't yet have.Yahoo and MSN will probably do something like this sooner or later.Remember for time being this is only for personalized search, for those people who have a google account and have to login... for common users who just go to google.com they won't see anything of this sort.There is no help for us optimizers - even though some black hatters try to find some loopholes - maybe mass creating accounts with Google and testing some trick - which sucks, and they will get penalized if they get caught. Sorry not penalized Google bans entire websites that cheat, spam or use black hat.
