I imagine this will lead to more ad clicks since people know by now that the peach background means that's an ad.
Also, it makes more sense to go to the real source: http://searchengineland.com/googles-new-look-search-results-still-experiment-186338 http://searchengineland.com/googles-new-look-search-results-... which has covered this many times before.
- oneeyedpigeon 13y agoI actually find the redesign makes it more obvious what is an ad and what isn't. nothing beats a descriptive labels that tells it like it is, and the subtle background color can vary hugely from monitor to monitor such that it's barely visible on some.
- ben174 13y agoAnd this is what scares me. Google ads are just plain dangerous. If they removed the malicious results this wouldn't be such a problem, but turn off your ad blocker and search for VLC. Your top result will be malware and that's what most of my friends click. Any step to further disguise ads is a step further in this malware propagating itself.
