No SERPs?

[Jez123]

I just did a search and got 1 reult only, a youtube video. No other pages and a full compliment of ads and searched relates to's and that's it. I was #1 for that SERP last week and today it doesn't seem to exist.

That's your cue to click on an advert.. All about the £'s

[Jez123]

The SERP is appearing as normal again now.

Most likely a glitch from the data center, perhaps even a router failure. The ads and youtube most likely come from a different data centers and therefore would still show.

I did a search for a very popular betting website a few weeks ago, and the only result was a sponsored advert for that site.

What are the odds of that happening? :)

Yea happening for a while now, you are lucky to see one link, out of every 20 queries i am making in Google UK, i am getting blank result with 3 paid ads for about 1 to 2 queries. Repeating the search then shows normal ads.

I have also seen (though VERY rarely) a page with no ads on it at all. For fairly large money term.

That DEFINITELY sounds like a Google bug, doesn't it ;)

Indeed! £££

it would be helpful to know just how far one could push monterizing the serps while at the same time canibalizing the organics before your average joe rebels.

[jinxed]

The average Joe cannot even distinguish between a paid ad and an organic result, so I’m sure they could probably push it a bit further!

[santapaws]

than one result?
