This was a very well-written post on a subject that is sure to be of importance to any SEO. Thanks for sphinning this, Marty. This prompted my first ever visit to Jaans blog. Good stuff.Miriam
@MiriamEllis: Yes, I thought the post was spot-on.
Well you could have fooled me. If this has been in fact implemented by Google, it is mighty funny how I have never seen it? What I have seen are suggestions listed at the very bottom of the search results page. And, occasionally on the top of the page. I tend to filter all that stuff out anyway, because I have trained myself to ignore paid advertisements on the search pages. Ergo, I expect to see little to no impact, in the immediate future.
^if you havent seen it, then you fail.
this sucks! bye bye, long tail!
This will have an effect on long tail keywords, but not as much as you might think, is my guess. How many people go to the Google home page to search, I would have to think less than half. Every browser now has google built in. That browser already has suggest like features built in. So most people have been using it for a long time.
@140local good point. I personally search using the toolbar in Firefox. I rarely find myself at the home page unless I working on some advandced link operators.
I also use firefox toolbar, and I have relied heavliy on autocomplete...mostly for casual searching. (...and because i am a horrible spellar!) ;)
