My guess is once Semantic Search is implemented, all the spammy SEO users or black hat users will start to use it to their advantage again.

I think Semantic implementation is going to take a while to happen though. The philosophy of the Semantic Web has been discussed for a while now but has any of the SEs implemented it yet?
SERPs will definitely going to be impacted in a big way once any implementation starts. Not sure if i welcome this idea though.

We’re already implementing the philosophy of the Semantic Web right now.

In a very real sense, mashups are drawing disparate data sources together into something much more meaningful.

However, the problems with personalized search are a little more complex; to get more out of the SEs , we have to put more in.

I call this the Google Information Paradox.

So the problem is, we would need to ‘tweak’ our search preferences to tune the SEs — tell them what we like, where we go, what we eat, when, who with, where we work et cetera.

Right now, Google, MSN, Ask, Yahoo! et cetera just don’t have the applications to gather all of that information into one place.

Plus, there are genuine privacy concerns about gathering such information.

This is indeed a tangled web we weave…

Yours is still a legacy model. Optimization is a two edge blade. It’s the joint-personalization need of both user and supplier. Personalization is always local jargon. Semantic personalization to both a user’s contextual intent and a supplier’s “message” is a solved problem from a sub-ontology technology prospective. There is no future need for “content-index-holding search engines” as we understand them today. Google, MSN, Ask and Yahoo can be challenged successfully without competing with more massive datacenters. The sub-graph matching distributed hash indexing architecture is “the stone” on the way toward the current search Gooliath’s from http://www.jarg.com ‘s patent portfolio sling.

This can be a problem for some SEOs, because a lot of them have good traffic from spelling errors (google,gogle,googl and so on) :). Search improves, that’s good. Now Google can answer some questions, not only give a SERP according to a few keywords. Fine.

Semantic search is definitely going to play a bigger part on SEO as Google and the other Search Engines are going to do their best to have the right websites appearing in search results.
