Users now will have a say in Google search


To minimize the efforts of people to manipulate the Google’s search algorithm, Google in late February altered its search algorithm for U.S users and made low quality content less visible. This was made due to the discussions about the worthless results in Google searches.
Due to the worthless results in Google searches, Microsoft’s Bing market share was increasing and have processed 30% of U.S based searches in March.
By Monday Google has adjusted search engine algorithm to all English language versions. Google has also started taking feedback from users to block websites using its blocking mechanism. Google fellow Amit Singhal says the company is relying on this feedback in "high-confidence situations."
