Google Getting Indulged In Testing

Of late, Google is getting indulged in certain kinds of changes and testing some new features. However, not all of the changes have been appreciated!

According to Danny Sullivan, three of those changes are already being tested live by Google. This came into light a few weeks after other major changes were made by the search engine. Following are the three changes:

Enhanced Listings

These are the listings which contain price ranges besides different ratings of various kinds of products and services from all those ventures that boast this type of information on the website.
Till now, only Yelp, Citysearch, CNET, TripAdvisor and Download.com are being involved in this testing phase. It is expected that once the features will get implemented, it will be available to any site that contains reviews and price ranges with in content.

Pagelinks

Google and its Sitelinks are very famous, and people who are familiar with SERPs, they might be aware of the fact that sitelinks are interconnected with SERPs! But, here is the new invention of the term, Pagelinks.

Well, pagelinks appear with in the search listings below the main listing link. These are prefixed with “Jump to,” pointing to different areas of the page.

Automatic Spelling Correction

Automatic spelling correction is the third change. This deserves a worth mention, as no content writer would like to write a blog or an article without such a feature.
