Today I came across the new Google layout which they rolled out to all the Internet users. I hate the way the new menu feature appeared in Google new search engine layout. The factor that I hate is that the search bar is on left side. I would suggest them to put the same on the right side after Sponsored links. If they put in the right side then it is going to help Google is maintaing the clean look atleast at the top.

I am impressed by some of the new features that I saw in their menu. The features like page previews, sites with images etc as Internet surfers can easily get a feel on which website to enter and which not to enter. Is this feature going to improve search results ?. I think it will improve the search results as traffic to websites will now be based more on website layout rather than just the search engine result page rankings. The big question now is that Google is not having the preview of all the websites in the search engine result pages. So how will Google overcome this ? How often will Google update page previews.

It is now time the designers need to spend much time to the websites to improve the overall look and feel of the whole websites they work for. Now is the time for the SEO's to come up with their innovative ideas about website layout. My suggestion to all would be to focus on a clean layout which looks pretty good.

Will Google change the layout back to the previous clean layout ?

Bing might already be aiming to take Search to the next level. They are already on the right track as they announced the Spatial Search . Bing have been discussing about Spatial search from last December. The idea is simple. Bing wants users to make most out of their search results. They have introduced the idea based on human psychology. Humans makes decision based on senses like sight, sound, touch, smell and taste.

Bing is making the new search considering the two main sense sight and touch. Bing Maps will start giving an immersive experience of a particular place. Bing have already started their advanced map feature with Twitter real time physical location map and Bing Local Lens .

Is spatial search important ?

Yes. Spatial Search is extremely important when it comes to local search queries like "Hostels in Los Angeles" . I can get a better result with Spatial Search. I am looking foward towards great changes in the search industry with search going to real world datas.

Daniel Lew's post search engine result display made me think about the vertical search engines. Vertical search engines are entirely different from the general search engine's like Google,Yahoo and Bing. Vertical search engines know their visitor and they are made based upon the visitor's interest. You can easly find a lot of travel based vertical search engines like Kayak. There are search engine which go beyond the general search engine feature to provide results based upon word relation in context to search query. Truevert is one such search engine which provides true vertical results beyond general search engine niche intention based result. Another interesting search engine I came across was Bossy which provides single answer to visitor queries.

An example is

Question:: When did germany invade poland ? Answer:: Month: Sept Year: 1939

The latest computational knowledge engine Wolfram Alpha was intended to provide visitors with systematic knowledge on their queries.

Where is the search heading towards?. The search engine future might go beyond general search engines as new signals of relavance becomes important. Certain factors like user behaviour, speed of providing search results etc will play a much more dominant role in the coming years and this will make general search engines to start taking measures to understand about the user query signals to stay on top of the search industry.

Why do you think about Bing? How can we say that Bing will dominate the internet? Do you think they're doing this because they give you outstanding tools, results and updates? Or their services are not amusing at all? Bing! Bing! Bing! Here comes the Bing! They totally want to dominate the internet, but there's a problem anyway.

Google is on the top and they're way too far than Yahoo and Bing. Bing is trying to make a plan in order to dominate Google and Yahoo in the internet. But they will do it in an idiot way. On these past few months, there are some controversies that Bing will crush Google.

WHAT? Are you kidding me? We'll their words are completely harsh for Google, which they are making alternative plans for it. They are making a deal with the big time webmasters who uses Google for SEO, to de-index themselves in exchange of big cash.

Oh really? Big cash, huh? How much is it? Huge money just to get out of Google? Are you kidding me for being such a Bing out there? I can say you're a total piece of crap! Don't you know that search engines are very useful no matter where you are independently like Altavista, Dogpile, Baidu, etc.? De-index with Google is a huge mistake for you.

Don't try to be tempted with Bing. Google is already big and most webmasters need it for their own business and earning revenue through their tools like Adsense, Adwords, Analytics, etc. Bing also has their MSN adCenter but I think getting backlinks to Bing is very difficult than Google and Yahoo.

So I will tell this straight to you Bing, you will never win against Google! If you do this in a blackhat or evil way, you're already filling up the heat. Just do your own business there and not jeopardizing others to de-index with Google.
