7-Result SERPs

[nepster]

Google made a significant change to the Top 10, limiting it to 7 results for many queries. Our research showed that this change rolled out over a couple of days, finally impacting about 18% of the keywords we tracked.

What do you say about that??

You heard of those SERP pages with 8 results? Well this is going to blow them out of the water. BINGO, MAN!

The Upside to the Changes

Many are saying that this will help eliminate spam. Basically, results that are spammy and do not apply directly to the search query will not be included in the returned results.It also means that brands will have an even easier time than ever before to “push-down” negative content that relates to their brand. Good for the brand, not necessarily good for the consumer.

The Downside to the Changes

The obvious downside is that this change creates the potential for one site to dominate the results. If you own the website that is the one doing the dominating, you don’t have much to complain about. However, if you are the owner of another website competing for that keyword phrase, you will likely find it impossible to climb back up to the first page.

Anyway. This is old news which another thread has already covered.

This is just for branded terms only.

Usually 7 results only occur on a brand search and also when there are site links present, like the Ebay example above. Not shitty little links, but proper site links like those.

This will stop all the fucking "brand name review" leaches from mooching the brands traffic. Well at least 3 of the fuckers.

Made it that much easier for rep management.. a lil harder to rank on page 1 ....

This started showing up 3 weeks ago, for branded terms. They even put 3 extra ads at the bottom of the SERPs when these 7 results appeared. It was 8 back them though. I guess 7 is the number that won the experiment.

...........I was always under the impression that if you are not in the top three, you didn't see shiieeeet... So who the fuck cares? If anything, I think this may be more beneficial for those in position 8+. Top of page two is better then the ass bottom of page 1 imo.
