Wikipedia, Universal Search, and Now Google Trends?

First, through the nature of the Google algorithm or by human manipulation, Wikipedia articles began to rank at the top of nearly every search. A few weeks ago, Google, implemented ‘Universal Search’, pushing organic results further down the page. What’s the latest difficulty for SEOer’s? It appears that ‘Google Trends’, a Google Labs project that shows the popularity of a search term over time, is now showing up in the SERP’s. Aaron Pratt of SEO Buzz Box has written about this change on his blog.  Instead of battling each other for rankings, we may find ourselves in a war with Google itself, and guess who will be on the losing side.
