Google Instant Promotes Adwords

Google’s newest Instant Upgrade isn’t just about getting the fastest results for their users, it also about getting the user to the a website faster. Along with the updated instant results which was the most noticeable set of changes, the more subtle but powerful change was the tiny little blue arrow on the results page, accompanied with keyboard shortcuts.

If you take a look at the screen shot above you will notice the arrow next to the top sponsored link, that allows the user to simply click ‘enter’ to chose that result, or use the arrow keys to navigate through each of the results. So one begs the question, why does this matter to my business? Simple. This small upgrade is promoting easier access to Google Adword’s Sponsored ads, therefore making the top Sponsored link that much more noticeable!

This upgrade has lead to an overall increase of users clicking on ads, which means more traffic for less money. Interested in how this could help your business market better online? Feel free to give us a shout to discuss these advancements and your business.
