How Google Instant Affects Google Adwords

In my previous post on 'Google Instant Search Now Live' I have explained about the Google Instant and how it benefits the users. Although Google Instant doesn't change the way ads are served, ads and search results will now be shown based on the "predicted search." With this change, you might notice some fluctuations in AdWords impression volume and in the distribution of organic keywords. You may find that certain keywords receive significantly more or fewer impressions moving forward. Read more...

Google Browser Size - Tool to see how others view your website

To help you understand how everyone sees your website, Google have created a tool called Browser Size. Browser Size is based on a sample of data from visitors to google.com. Special code collects data on the height and width of the browser for a sample of users. For a given point in the browser, the tool will tell you what percentage of users can see it. For example, if an important button is in the 80% region it means that 20% of users have to scroll in order to see it. If you're a web designer, you can use Browser Size to redesign your page to minimize scrolling and make sure that the important parts of the page are always prominent to your audience. People can use this tool to make their websites better, in turn making the web better for everyone. Read more...
