]]> By: Dustin | SEO Guide https://www.potpiegirl.com/google-instant/#comment-9574 http://www.potpiegirl.com/?p=1687#comment-9574 This is definitely going to affect the SEO and PPC community. The Google Suggested searches are going to receive much more traffic than any other keywords, and the cost to compete in the PPC market on these is going to skyrocket.

I for one, don’t like the change.

But then… I guess it has never taken me 9 seconds to search for anything =P

]]> By: George https://www.potpiegirl.com/google-instant/#comment-9568 http://www.potpiegirl.com/?p=1687#comment-9568 As far as time savings go, I don’t think Google instant is really going to make an impact on my day. I am interested to see how it will affect my search engine rankings though. So far I have seen little or no change, and sometimes no change is a good thing.

I’m not worried about this new feature, what really scares me is the path Google has chosen. What will be next feature? To suggest links only according to navigation patterns? Without typing anything? That’s wold be really scaring!

Reading between the lines here… I’ve always written down the list of keywords that google suggests when I search the rankings of my keywords… Sounds like traffic is going to be steered toward the suggested keywords… I missed the cough cough email…. I will sign up for your emails again in case I’m off the list.
Appreciate your info, as always!

]]> By: Nina Ottosson https://www.potpiegirl.com/google-instant/#comment-9547 http://www.potpiegirl.com/?p=1687#comment-9547 I find it kind of annoying that Google has done this roll out text. I love you google but I think I know what I am typing and I type pretty fast!

]]> By: Rick Byrd https://www.potpiegirl.com/google-instant/#comment-9542 http://www.potpiegirl.com/?p=1687#comment-9542 It was activated for me and I have used it a few times. I do like it when I am personally searching for something. But I do not like using it when I am doing niche keyword research.

I honestly do not know how this is going to affect the organic traffic that I get from Google.

I will be watching my stats very closely to see if things change.

Whether Google Instant is evil in an empirical sense is up for debate — but in the Emily Post world we were taught not to interrupt when someone is speaking.

We were taught to listen intently and to listen carefully.

Perhaps Google should focus on listening to what we are searching for rather than interrupting and then AFTER listening Google should return more accurate results.

Now let’s look at this from a business ethics (i.e., “Not Evil”) standpoint.

Type “A” in Google Instant an you get:

* Amazon.com
* AOL
* Amtrak
* Apple
* A

When someone selects the first suggested result for A in Google Instant search suggestion they are taken to is Amazon.com.

How much revenue Google make from does amazon.com?

How much more cash does Google skim off by serving up billions of additional “suggestions” for the user to click Amazon.com

Any marketer knows that more exposure means a greater possibility of conversion (sales).

How many small business, moms who are helping support their family with Clickbank.com or Commission Junction are going to lose money or maybe even their home because of this “biased endorsement?”

Wouldn’t unfairly increasing your income by favoring more profitable businesses at the expense of all other’s be “evil?”

AOL (result number two)…

…why in the word would Google be pusing AOL. AOL is free now and no longer pays a “finder’s fee.” So why AOL?…knowing that AOL is stumbling could Google be negotiating to buy AOL’s assets at firesale prices now while simultaneously building AOL’s membership? If so, wouldn’t that be “Evil.”

Last, isn’t “fortunetelling” both Biblically immoral and criminally fraudulent? If telling me I am looking for Amazon when I was looking for apostle isn’t false “fortunetelling,” then what is it?

Google technolgy cannot read my mind or yours.

Is the FTC listening…could these actions be antitrust violations, RICO infringements, and extortion or other federal crimes?

Hmm – “Be Not Evil” surely sound “Good” – but when you do the opposite of what you profess it’s hypocritical and “Evil.”

Agree or Disagree?

I switched it off immediately because I felt so dizzy…besides I don;t think that they have launched this feature for our own good….it is probably that since we are all logged in through our google accounts, they have too many sessions open who just use search, and they want to cut down on their number.

]]> By: Low Carb Diets Recipes https://www.potpiegirl.com/google-instant/#comment-9523 http://www.potpiegirl.com/?p=1687#comment-9523 Great feature and sure this will enhance the user expreince. This makes user to intract with search box for the first time.

I love your blog and have started at the beginning. I love also teh way you teach us so simply and nicely…i can tell you really do care,

So I wanted to really leave this comment on the 4th of January ( i know its sept!) and ask you about that post.
I apologise that this comment really isn’t about this post, But I gotta ask you something if thats ok?

When you put the
intitle:”keyword”inanchor:”keyword”
and press search and Google comes back with zero results, it had me jumping with joy, BUT when i searched for that keyword on Google, Loads of results came in with the KW in the title and the Domaine name as well as in the description

Has the method changed? Amd I doing something wrong?

I would really really appreciate your help with this question
Kindest regards
Alexa

For seo, that’s yet to be discovered.

]]> By: David Stillwagon https://www.potpiegirl.com/google-instant/#comment-9517 http://www.potpiegirl.com/?p=1687#comment-9517 I like google instant it really seems to help when you are not sure about what you are searching for.
