Well I can tell you the Twittersphere is rife with panic from all the paranoid SEOs out there. At the end of the fundementals for SEO stay the same, and this is not that different to drop down options they previously rolled out. I think Google is just trying for more personalization and they have incorporated the wonder wheel into search options.

Personally I think it is much ado about nothing

What is it that we are supposed to see different on the search page? :confused:

I think this could have a definite impact on search trends. Already Ive noticed that I become distracted when performing a search like...."fitted red baseball caps" ...I seem to go off on a tangent when something *else* catches my eye. Before Ive completed typing in my original search.

I certainly havent meant to, just natural tendencies. I guess comparible to youtube, when Im looking for google webmaster stuff and end up watching kittens playing bongos.

SPEED - the world is moving at an incredibly
fast pace now and Google seems to be leading
the way. Getting instant results as you type,
hmmm, Reminds me of a movie when they
said "I have the need for SPEED".

I just hope this won't be confusing for some
users.

I don't like it. I find it annoying. I am worried how it will affect long tail keywords.

Reason #1,152,515 why "gaming anomalies in a mathematical algorithm" isn't a "business" or a "business model".

Forgive me for saying this but I don't see any difference with Google. I typed in "fitted red baseball caps" and basically the results and drop downs look the same as they did yesterday.

Can someone fill me in please?

This might be great for us all. It will probably have an impact on long tail traffic, but I also think it could do this: cause people to search more. Why? Well, I tried it out a little last night, and it almost functioned as a bit of an idea generator for me. I ended up doing more searches than I had planned to do. Admittedly, I kinda got lost a little, but I still ended up on a good few sites that I never would have visited otherwise.

Google processes around 1 billion searches per day. As for me, I won't be complaining the day that number doubles.

I don't see any changes too. Explain it a bit more. I have using Google hundred times a day and i can't see any changes. Maybe changes are for some countries?

OK I give, where did the wonder wheel go? Anybody know? Thanks, Ed

From an end user standpoint, I don't like it. All the flashing on the screen while I'm trying to type is distracting.

Google changes all the time and will continue changing.
I think the best way to protect yourself from these changes is to concentrate on good, original content - the Internet was build for content and information therefore it will always be the top priority of search engines.
