I’ve just turned off Google Instant because it became too annoying. I gave it a fair chance but never clicked on anything it brought up because it was usually wrong. Then this morning, I was searching for something and the next button at the bottom was missing…it was if Google Instant was saying: “We know what you were searching for and if it’s not on this page, then you were wrong!” So I had to click the link next to the search box that allows you to turn it off.

You’ll have to search something first in order for that link to show up because it’s not on the homepage.

Really, has Google Instant improved anything? Has it improved the user experience at all? To this I say NO! What it has improved, is Google’s chance to to direct you to websites that they want you to buy from! I’m not saying that this is what’s going on, but how many of you haven’t already thought that!!?? It makes perfect sense.

Yahoo has Search Submit Pro which delivers paid results in the organic results, which to me is totally screwed…and now that Yahoo and Bing are in bed together, it’s perfect timing for Google to roll out their version of "Search Submit Pro"…again this is all conspiracy theory and I doubt is what is really happening.

It’s also really funny that so many agencies and "SEO" people have used Google Instant to instill fear in people in order to get more business. This is much like the way George Bush instilled fear in the American public in order to get what he wanted while he was "President"

They would use headlines in their posts and emails blasts like: "What Does Google Instant Mean To Your Online Business?", or "What You Need to Know About Google Instant In Order To Protect Your Search Engine Ranking"…it’s all BS, because no matter what, people are going to search how they search and the same results are going come up…it may be more important to be on page one now, but I think that’s it…and really what this is doing is affecting the attention span of the user, as if ADD hasn’t increased enough since the internet has been around…now it’ll be worse…that’s it, now I see what’s happening!! Google has teamed up with the pharmaceutical companies that make Ritalin! That’s the key to their world domination! They’ll turn the human population into a bunch robots and get even more rich in the process by having a stake in the pharmaceutical industry!!

All kidding aside, don’t be alarmed by Google Instant…if you’re doing to the right things now, just keep doing them. If you’re doing things that are outdated and borderline black hat, this may be the time to join the side of good and to stop reading outdated articles and listening to the many so called "SEO Experts" who have recently popped up ever since SEO has become in "vogue", and if Google Instant becomes too annoying, simply turn it off!

Looks like we’re celebrating birthdays this month. OneArmedSEO.com just passed its 2nd birthday September 10th, 2010. Time flies when you’re having fun!! We’re in our terrible two’s now…let’s see what kind of havoc we can create in the SEO world!

It all happened on September 10th 2008 (Imagine TV flash back sequence here), I got to work early, 7 AM, as usual, because I’m that type of guy, and my boss was in early too, which is unusual, because he would normally stroll in about 9. He walked up to my desk and ask if he could speak with me, I said sure, knowing full well that something was up. We walked past his office and went into the HR boss’ office…right then I knew I was getting the ax! To tell you the truth, I didn’t care because I had been thinking about leaving anyway.

So, they gave me their song and dance about how they were doing budget cuts or something like that…I really wasn’t listening…you get to a point in your life when you stop listening to people the second the BS starts to drip out of their mouths!

So they gave me a pretty good severance and I hit the bricks…hahaha, they even had one of the other HR people escort me down to my car because they didn’t want me to tell other people they were doing layoffs that day…the HR person that was escorting me down said “she knew nothing about it”…more BS…

Anyway, at that point, OneArmedSEO was born, swarn to uphold decency, white hat-ism, truth, justice and the no BS way! hahaha.

We are SEO Crusaders! What this means is that when we see any SEO BS being slung, we will always call the person/agency/"SEO Expert" on what ever it is they’re trying to sell!!
