Does Google’s search results page feel a little more crowded to you? The ads which used to run down along the right-hand edge of the page are now shifted over to the left, as if to declare, “Hey, look at us!†Maybe this will increase the number of times ads are clicked on. They are certainly more noticeable. The ads now seem like they are now grouped together with the organic results, whereas before they were shunted off to the side (a legacy of the early days of Google when the purity of organic results was protected as much as possible from being sullied by dirty ads). In fact, on my screen the ads take center stage, with a thin line down the middle forming the slimmest barrier separating them from the natural results. I wonder if this design change has something to do with the popularity of wider screens. But the line and central placement of the ads also conveniently draw the eye. http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/08/11/google-shifts-ads-to-the-left/
Shouldn't this be in Google not under Marketing? At any rate I hate it, I have a wide screen and the flow of the Google results looks ridiculous on my screen now.
