Google’s new Google Instant search will “Auto-Complete†suggestions for your search as you type. If you plan on typing “Chevy Impalas for sale Long Islandâ€, before you get done typing Impalas, you’ll see “Chevy Impalas for Sale†as a suggestion. No need to finish typing. Great, but what will this do to “long tail†searches?
I have to think they’ll decrease. From Google’s standpoint, I think PPC bids will increase. The PPC ad placement can be served up by IP address. It will be increasingly important for local businesses (Car Dealers). So you can do all the “organic†optimization you want, but if customers are doing more high-level “short-tail†searches, they will never see a local dealer – only national sites. The only way to get on the page is with Pay Per Click.
The result for Google, more revenue. The result for dealers, fewer “free†SEO clicks. What do you guys think?
