Google Testing New SERP Layout

google-screen-shot.jpgLee has a screenshot, click the thumbnail to your right, of a new Google SERP layout which includes a different designated spot for the “related searches” and also includes links to category refinements.

I think it looks decent, and its about time they made some improvements to their SERPs.  That said, I can’t imagine this one will stick due to the fact it pushes the Adwords ads in the right column down removing at least one ad from above the fold.  Would you be pleased if it was yours that got knocked out?

Lee also points to some other SERP layouts that have been found.

Why Your Business Needs Widgets

I’m a huge fan of widgets. I’ve had a lot of discussions with some others within the office regarding the new age of content consumption and Web 2.0. Widgets are a big part of this. There are few key reasons why you should be using widgets and things they can accomplish […]

SEO Reports & Search Engine Rankings. We’re Not Dead Yet.

I just read Lee’s post entitled “Are Search Engine Rankings are Dead?”, with the followup “R.I.P. Search Engine Rankings?” from Jennifer at Search Engine Guide.
Are they right? Partially. Yes, the landscape has changed. That said, it hasn’t changed enough to a point where the ranking is no longer a metric. […]

Bad Placement of Google Link on FTD.com Order Page

It’s Mother’s Day tomorrow, so being the nice man that I am, and the horrible procrastinator, I just now sent my mother some flowers using FTD.com.  Kudos to them for allowing me to order one day before and arrange for the flowers to be there tomorrow!

The order process was standard, but on the confirmation page […]

Building a Successful In-House SEO Team

One of the things I love about working here is the great team that we’ve built over the years. I feel team building is a business skill just like negotiating, communication, or even SEO. Unless hiring and recruiting is your full time job and responsibility it can be tough to identify needs, find […]

Are You REALLY Different?

Check out these results.

Query: seo company “why we’re different”
Query: seo company “why we are different”
Query: seo company “what makes us different”

I don’t have the time to physically check each site, but I know where I’d place my bet. I bet the percentage of SEO companies that are in fact “different” is less than 5%.

The Difference Between Good & Great SEOs

I recently signed up for Danny’s new Search Marketing Expo conference in Seattle schedule for June 4th and 5th (more posts to come on this later). I was thinking about some people I know will be there and searching through some resumes and it got me thinking about SEOs, arrogance, bragging rights, and the […]

How To Build Traffic, Links, & Buzz for a Site That Doesn’t Exist

For new players in the field it can be a debate, but not for professional SEOs and those that are aware of the Sandbox. You’ve got a new feature, or venture, or product. Technically it’s strong enough to stand on its own two feet.  But, will it get any love from Big G?  The answer is […]

Top 10 Reasons I Didn’t Hire You

1)  You’re a cat when I need a dog. I can’t count the number of SEM/PPC resumes I get for SEO related positions. If you’re involved in the PPC field then you know there’s a difference between the two.  Why even apply?
2)  You’ve got book smarts, but no street smarts.  I have a […]

Jane Copeland Just Moved Up a Notch in My Book

This is one of the funniest posts I’ve read in a long time: Fuck Cyclists.
“I hate cyclists. Fuck them. Yeah, screw you and your eco-friendly Lycra spandex tights, your fluorescent jacket, gaudy helmet (which you sometimes choose not to wear), and your dumb shoes. It is not okay for you to ride in front of […]
