I think having many fewer ads is a mistake. There are no side ads anymore. This will cripple our advertising if it goes through.
Looks like only the top 1-4 ads get seen at all on the first page.
I hope this "experiment" doesn't become SOP.
Very strange. Google says they are conducting an "experiment" on small number of searches.
It is the only format I'm seeing with my IE browser so I'm not sure about the "small number of searches" thing
There have been a least a couple of threads about this so far - though I don't recall exactly was said. So I'll just confirm here that this is a test, and the number of searches for which it appears is very limited.
jam2005, if you try another computer (or clear cookies on your current computer) you are unlikely to see the test again.
