Google Suggest is updated

By Charles-Henry Ruyant

Yesterday, Google updated the Google Suggest search box. Google Suggest proposes or completes a keyword when someone is searching on Google. The two most interesting development are the ‘Navigational suggestions’ and ‘Sponsored links in suggestions’

Navigational suggestion not only proposes a keyword to you but also provides a direct link to a website. For example, if you enter ‘cra’ in Google search box, Google will put forward a link to Craigslist.

The second unusual update, is the sponsored link suggestion. Very similar to the ‘Navigational suggestion’, Google proposes a commercial link to your search inside the search box. This PPC ad on the Google search box is a little bit too much. Google is clearly trying to make easy money but I think that Google’s success is based on the fact that the user is not bombarded with advertising (and never on the first page)! With this update it is not really the case anymore.
