>As it should, the ranking would be effected by the click activity that users perform on the most popular websites. Effectively I'd have crowd sourced my ranking.
Not exactly. Those sites work hard to present relevant links to the crowd. If the sites have competent engineers, your record of clicks cannot add much value -- if just because you only have a subset of all the clicks on that site. So you see google says they're seeing increasing overlap with bing over time.
