Google Toolbar Rating System
"Google
Updates its Toolbar with New Rating System"
By Merle
http://www.MCPromotions.com
Google recently announced a change to its toolbarsoftware
which includes two new buttons: a happyface and
a frowning face, which users can click onto rate
a webpages as they visit them.
The toolbar is free and only works with Internet
Explorer 5.0 and runs on Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000
or XP. The toolbar helps you find just what you're
looking for online without returning to Google's
homepage to perform new searches. Once installed
on your system it automatically appears under the
Internet Explorer toolbar.
Google's toolbar offers these useful features:
Search Site: This function allows you to
search the site you're using to find exactly what
you're looking for.
Page Rank: Check Google's ranking of any
page you're visiting.
Page Info: Allows you to access more information
about a page including pages that link back to it
and other similar pages. You can also highlight
and find every instance of your search words as
they appear on the page which may be helpful in
your search optimization efforts.
The new voting system that has been added is not
readily apparent after installing it. If you have
Google's old toolbar installed you'll also need
to uninstall it before installing this beta version.
To get to the new smiley face ranking system to
show up on the bar, you'll need to click on Google's
logo located on the far left and choose "toolbar
options." Scroll down to the "page information"
and put a check mark in the "voting buttons"
box. Save your changes and look at the bar again.
It should now contain a happy face and a frowning
face. These faces allow you to rate websites as
you visit them, in essence giving them a "thumbs
up" or "thumbs down."
So far Google is saying this new voting system is
simply a test, but if they do keep it and start
using it to rank pages on their site it could make
a major impact on search optimization firms and
others who are trying to get a top Google listing.
Sort of reminds me of my elementary school days
and the stickers the teachers would put on my homework.
So what rating is your site going to get, a happy
or a sad face?
