Thanks David

I completely agree that Google is far from done when it comes to further eroding the quality of the results as they continue to hunt for even more profits. They’ve become the beast on a mission that happens so often with companies catering to shareholders. It’s disgusting. Not the desire for profits, the reckless method by which they go about their work.

@Alan great post, i have to do a followup post about the 3 entry implications when i get a chance.

This is just the start of where it will be going in 2010, so hang on tear up your client ranking bonuses unless you are working for the big websites. As shown in the results the new layout provides even more weight to the dominate websites.

Hi. I needed to drop you a quick note to impart my thanks. I’ve been observing your blog for a month or so and have picked up a heap of effective information as well as relished the way you’ve structured your site. I am undertaking to run my own blog however I think its too general and I would like to focus more on smaller topics.

Social Man – careful what you ask for…

John, Bing’s “relevancy” is stupid. But Google’s gone too far, so yeah… maybe a lot of people start finding stupid relevancy more palatable than searching in the “AOL”ized version of Google.

Google needs a “lite” version, for sure. Still not a fan of Bing’s relevancy, but this is getting ridiculous.

It really is as serious as you describe. Microsoft has killed off lots of small businesses over the years by building in a “similar” solution into the operating system. Google’s doing the same. It’s deplorable.

Thanks Ruud
Yes there was a time when Google was elegant simplicity. Not no more.

One of the best take-aparts of what’s been happening to Google’s pages that I’ve read in the past couple of months.

The other day I shared how much I *enjoy* (as in: fun, pleasant, nice, feel-good) using Bing at the moment.

Before adding this comment I went back to do another search and [blows out air] what a breath of fresh air; look at those result pages — wasn’t Google once this simple, clean and straightforward?

Google has been trying to kill SEO for a long time, they could not stand the idea that they are sending most of there traffic for free to a third party, obviously a smart guy in Google Plex proposed to keep the traffic in house by:
- More Adwords results
- More local results (where the traffic will be sent to another Google property) then turn it into paid
- More images and then also turn it into paid (the new product paid listing)

Now all organic results come beneath the fold, checking the traffic of server sites that I own and relay on local keywords, each of them has lost at least 15% of it traffic comparing to a year ago without any changes in ranking
