Google Notebook & Google Rankings

I found this great article today on Page Rankings and Google. Apparently, large numbers of relevent backlinks while still valuable may not be quite as valuable as being noted or google notebooked...

Google finally released Google Notebook today. Google Notebook is a resource provided that allows you to take notes on web sites that you visit. You can mark your notes as private or share them with the rest of the world.

You can compare this to delicio.us, furl, stumbleupon, etc. as a recent way in the past to help increase your web site rankings that would provide links to your web site.

However, because of new developments there is another stronger reason to consider these options. With the Google BigDaddy update, resources point to the development of enhancing searches by what people 'bookmark' and take 'notes' to be a stronger ranking factor than in the past!

With the greater number of pages being indexed it is becoming harder to rank web sites according to traditional methods. Google is actively pursuing ways to make the searches more accurate using users input, in ways such as Google Notebook for example. Matt Cutts of Google has an in depth blog on BigDaddy that enlightens this point.

The BigDaddy Blog can be found here.

Here are a couple of excerpts from the blog describing what BigDaddy function is. When you compare it to the recent development of Google Notebook and other services out there such as furl, stumbleupon, and delicio.us you can see how having your web site getting 'note'ed, 'bookmarked', 'furl'ed, and 'stumbled upon' can help with your rankings.
