Google’s Instant Search with Keyboard Controls: What it means for SEOWritten by Dr Peter FishGoogle Instant was released a few weeks back on some of the more established Google domains (.com, .co.uk etc.). This kicked up a mass of hysteria amongst internet marketers; this was mostly a lot of bulldust, lunatics trying to stir up some link bait more likely. As a quality internet marketer you’ve got to realise that things change and it’s your job to stay on the game and make it work for your clients. Google claims to have saved 11 hours of search per second, that’s monstrous. How can this be a negative? Visitors will merely end up on your site even faster now…

We are very much big fans of the new acquisitions that Google has been making. This is not a defeat for internet pluralism. This is a victory for compliance, standards and efficient web protocols. Only Google knows how to make these other companies work best for them and being the sole provider of search these days it is important to them and to surfers that the best technologies are optimized and configured in accordance with Google.

If you have wandered onto the Google.com website over the last few days you would have noticed a big change in the way your search is conducted. I have to say that this was a change we were not expecting yet the engineers and scientists at Google were so excited that they changed a number of Google domains with funny animations of the logo just to show their excitement for this big change which came through on Thursday. The change was evidently significant where your search box had lengthened quite substantially and the biggest change was that the search query was predictive as to what you were typing, bringing up suggestions and of course giving you real time results even before you had completed your search query.

Now I just made this term up inspired from a twitter user doing something that I heard on the radio in Australia about 8 years ago.
Over the last few weeks Google ahs rolled out the new Google Instant search in a number of countries. Recently as yesterday they added another 12 countries to the list of domains now using Google instant. This has brought many new questions to SEO experts who spend every waking minute optimizing for the current system because the future is very foggy when it comes to Google and their engineers.
The web is predominantly presented by and viewed in a spectrum of a few fonts, most notably Arial, Times New Roman, Verdana and Courier. These fonts are considered web-safe, purely because every computer has them installed.
