Top 2 Spots are GONE!

[thewho]

Google has gooten rid of the top 2 spots that are above the organic search results. Now the spots are all to the right. My CTR has tumbled. Google is going to lose $$$$ and probally lose out to Overture in the near future.

NO, they have not

please do some other searches...

It does seem stricter today though, doesn't it? I'm seeing a lot less premiums than normal.

try "real estate"...

try "real estate"...

One query doesn't prove anything. There still are premiums there. But, I'll admit, it does seem that there are less than normal.

BTW - Welcome to WebmasterWorld.

I dont need to try anything.

a search of over 20 phrases show they are still there.

just becuase the algo is not allowing any ads to be shown, does not mean they have stopped.

Whew! I was worried there for a sec that I'd missed out on an important announcement!

That may be the fastest 6 posts I've ever seen!

AWA,

you should know that I have a very soft spot for the top 2 listings ;)

what took you so long to answer anyway, since I hear on the grapewine, that this is your full time job, apart from wooing googlettes in the canteen

I wish! More like a third, on a good day. ;)

But I will say that posting here is one of my favorite parts of the day. I kid you not.

'No Comment' on the googlettes - since I am so very PC. :)

Nope, still there.

I don't get the top spots for real estate. I get google news. I do get the top 1 spot for my term and I am glad it is still there and there is only one and it is me.
