The question is how "serious" Google scholar rankings are going to be seen. In the past quite a few demonstrations have shown, that the Google scholar ranking/citation system can be gamed with relatively little effort. Let's hope that it will have more impact than those University rankings which calculate the scores based on aspects such as the inbound/outbound link ratio (as some web"metric" rankings indeed do).
