Ho John Lee’s Weblog

Google seems to be trying out some alternate layouts for the search results pages. This morning, I got one page with just a small Google logo next to the text box, which keeps more results on the screen, and a couple of pages with a larger box of text ads at the top, which was bad, because it pushed the useful results down the page.

I hope they keep the small logo, without the big text ads at the top. The text ads at the top would probably generate some incremental revenue for Google, but hurts the usability. For me, this is partially because I’ve gotten used to Google’s page layout, so I can’t scan the results page as quickly.
