This is a good post. Having social search, is empowering search engine users as all business behaviour online will eventually be determined by people's comments on Social Pages and ability to spread their opinion across the internet.

I think regarding links, it will make most current “off-page” SEO obselete i.e. reciprocal links (which is dying out anyways) since particpating in Social Media provides quicker link building strategies, with the new social search function; although they won't be weighted as much as other links, unless Google finds a good filtration method or includes certain factors to include into its search algorithm, to offer good quality results.

But in saying this, it will be interesting on how Google will dictate these results and whether there will be any hidden agendas or “biases”

We love to hear what others think before we buy something. However, if this becomes a main feature, there will be a lot of businesses caught off guard to find reviews of their businesses so readily available. Great news for consumers.

It may be more demographic based. I think that people who grow up with social media seem to care more what their friends think which will give a higher weighting to recommendation. <br><a href="http://www.onesherpa.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.onesherpa.com</a> Undoubtedly this will have an affect.

My opinion is that social media needs good quality control process to deliver reliable information. I guess this is an important question: how will social search affect SEO?

I am a huge fan of yelp and find that when I'm looking for an honest and transparent review of a business, restaurant, etc. this site is much more effective. I think this is great because it gives more power to the consumer and they can control the message rather than googling a business and going to their site and only receiving positive viewpoints on what they have to offer.
