Google Serp Change : November 2008
Recently, Few of you might have noticed the changes in Google Search Engine Result Pages (SERP). Same thing also observed by many SEO/Webmasters around the world. While doing search analysis on Google Pages, I have found one additional link beside the page listing as Skip Intro.
Google SERP Change : November 2008
Today, On of the forum of SEORoundTable, discussion was going about recently spotted changes in Google SERP. This new feature is spotted in Google.co.uk result pages, that lets you skip through the splash/flash screen of sites. The following image will explain the things better way:
Google SERP Update November 2008
Interesting to note that, Search Engine Land spotted this in June, and it looks like Google isnt done testing this out yet. Moreover, the Skip Intro link isnt very visible, so itd be interesting to note how many people actually have seen this but never actually clicked on it (probably because they overlooked it).
Its a nice addition, but indeed, I think the Skip Intro link would need to be more prominent to be useful. It should be highlighted so if anyone wants to read only content or using the low speed Internet then it can be helpful for him, but I think, Google should experiment these changes in the Asian countries to get the real review about this feature. I think this is a great feature & helpful for users specially in research and/or having low speed/ mobile internet connection.
