Google News

You may have noticed that Google are now displaying on the upper left of web search pages above the results: Web: Result details: S M L.
This is an experiment for the Google results page, basically if you chose

• S you get no descriptions at all - but you can see 15 results instead of just 10,
• M will provide the screens we have all known and loved for so long,
• L will give you a long description, seemingly pulled from the page content and not the meta data and will only give you 6 results on one page.

What does this mean? Well the user can now chose how many results he can see on the front page of Google, and if you're not in the top 6 you might lose out. Time to make sure your content speaks volumes!
