Google Rolls Out New Jumbo Site Links

So Google has officially started rolling out the new jumbo site links for all users. They now take up almost all of the space above the fold. What do you guys think? Will it make life harder from an SEO point of you? Are you seeing anything strange with the new site links?

This could bring in far more branded search results, but at the same time, it could also stem your SEO efforts.

Google Testing New SERP’s: Part 2

I wrote yesterday about Google testing new SERP features. Today I started up my pc and went to Google (as I probably do about a million times a day) and was greeted with some more changes.

I quite like the new look and feel and it seems to coincide with the look and feel of Google +. I also noticed today that Google.com.au doesn’t have instant, but google.co.za does. Found that interesting.

Google Testing New Black SERP’s

So it seems that Google is testing a new slightly different look and feel on their SERP’s. What do you guys think of this? I have only seen this on google.com.au and not google.co.za or google.com. I know it has been different for others, but I would really like to know if anyone is seeing this on google.co.za?
