Relevance is far more important to search engine ranking than my friend’s like patterns and I would prefer the search companies to develop their algorithms to include more options to reflect the searchers personal priorities, case by case, rather than the current system where they serve up results based on previous search behaviour – or on this seemingly new industry standard giving importance to the behaviour of ones friends.
