Reach for the Top With Universal Search
January 31, 2011 | Posted in Traffic Generation | Leave a Comment

Traffic Generation

With Google's "Universal Search," the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs) blend together results from Web page search, blog search, news search, image search, video search, book search and local search.

Each of these special searches are known as doing "vertical search." However, not many people actually used these special searches so Google now blends them into its general, "front door" results to give the best search experience possible.

You never get a second chance to make a good first impression!
