However, this would only be useful if links that I clicked on that turned out not to be useful, were later not returned or somehow moved to the bottom of future query results.

Beyond not wanting to share certain pieces of information with the service, I might want to exclude items that I don't want to be used for recommendations. For example, I've bought books for friends and family on Amazon.com that shouldn't be used to recommend other books to me. Excellent point, Jack, and one I should’ve brought up.
