For most of my "quick searches", I already have the answer from within the search results listing. It looks like it will go one step further, we are not going to have to leave the results page to have complex answers.
I am not sure if I want to provide all my hard work in a format which will maybe help the search engines a bit, but mainly the spammers a lot as they will be able to automate the creation of content farms even more.
Mixed feelings... all the world data in a well structured format is a wonder but at the same time, what will be the incentives to create such an easy to digest content if the world at the end do not even know you are the one how produced it?
Kind of the old media against new media dilemma but applied to the new media. Interesting.
- jaynate 15y agoBingo, this my first response as well. What happens when users stop clicking through to content because it's being served up by Google, Bing or Yahoo? I guess it could actually hurt them as well. If users aren't providing information back to the algorithm in the form of a click through related to a search term, don't the search engines also risk losing a key signal of relevance?
- ryannielsen 15y agoWhy unilaterally assert this will decrease click-throughs? If I see immediately relevant data for restaurant hours, movie times, a person's bio, etc, I'm far more likely to click-through and start looking at a menu, making a reservation, or getting more background. They may well expect increased click-throughs leading to more site traffic for those who adopt.
- rapind 15y agoFor me this varies based on device. If I'm at my laptop then I'll usually click through, but if I'm on my phone I won't unless I have to. It takes too long to render sites with loads of images and adverts on my phone, so I always dread clicking a search result.
