Last year there was a boom with the name of Cuil whose founders were two ex-Googlers made huge noise when it launched its search engine with the claim of having the largest search index in the world?
The result was a huge initial traffic spike. But when it didn’t “beat Google (Google),” its traffic dropped like a whale being thrown out of an airplane.

Do you feel that your page crowded when you hit search? Google has adjusted the placement of its ads. Now 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.

If you travel a lot then Google has improved the search results for you. Google has also included maps in the search as well and famous location. Maps are part of google search from last 2 years but as any traveler could tell you, knowing the geographical location of a place is only part of the story. It’s often just as valuable to get a sense of what the place is like, and there’s no better way to do that than by looking at images of some of its most important sights.
