StumbleUpon -- The Secret Google PageRank Maker?
Sure, I should probably keep this to myself, if it's true; but WTF, I'm spewing everything else out here, so might as well just keep letting 'er rip.
Here's the observation:
Day One: Site I want to be #1 when Googling my name shows up on page 2 or 3, depending on quotes, lack of quotes, etc.
Day Two: Go a stumbling on StumbleUpon and give my page one single Thumbs Up vote.
Day Five: (Yeah, three days intervening). Page I wanted to be #1 is indeed #1.
Could be a complete coincidence, but I encourage you to play around with the idea just to see what happens. Can you stumble pages up the Google PageRanks? Bookmark this post and c'mon back to let us know in the comments. That way, Google can adjust its algorithms to once again screw up your own individual influence over your own individual information again.
Because, after all, you should wear the clothes that everyone else says you should wear; you should live in the house that everyone else says you should live; you should drive the car that everyone else says you should drive; and you should have no control over which content ABOUT YOU is atop the search results on the web. To give you that control, according to The Googlebot, would "unfairly weight" that information. On the web, you should be who Googlebot says your are, not who you say you want to be.
