"Google Boxes" Promote Rankings, But is it Worth It?
A High Rankings Forum member discovered the golden Google Box, a widget that displays the top 10 rankings for any particular keyword.
It looks like this: embedding a bit of code on your site, you can show your users the top 10 rankings for a particular keyword. For example, if you are searching for "Google," you'll be presented with the following (or similar) box:
So the forum member asks: should you put one of these on your site? It's almost an endorsement from Google.
Many forum members think that it's not a good idea. After all, by doing so, you're promoting yourself and 9 competitors. Do you really want people to start analyzing the competition or looking elsewhere?
If it's something you want, I think the best bet is to look at it internally so you can analyze the data that way.
Forum discussion continues at High Rankings Forum.

This isnt something i would be adding to my primary websites anytime soon, but it could come in handy on smaller websites, especially if the links generated point to my major ones... recommended by google ;)
