Google Changes May Drive Webmasters Nuts (Video And Pictures)

(Before It's News)

Google has been running a test that eliminates URLs from search results pages (for the most part).

Does this make results pages better? Would you be in favor of Google implementing this as a new design? Let us know in the comments.

Google tests different things with its search interface all the time. Sometimes we cover the tests, and sometimes we don’t. Frankly there are just too many to keep track of. Matt Cutts has said that Google runs 20,000 search experiments a year.

This one is kind of interesting though, as it completely removes URLs from search results pages (apparently unless there is authorship involved). Tecno-Net tipped Search Engine Roundtable with a couple screen caps.

Here’s what it looks like on desktop:
