Google something. Does anything look different? Google recently tweaked the design for their search results to put more focus on ads. The ads, once on the far right, are now closer to the middle of the screen. If you haven’t noticed the ads before, you sure will now. They’re hard to miss.
Why did they do this? Well, the answer is clear. They hope that pushing the ads left will bring more clicks. With monitors becoming wider and wider, ads were going farther and father. Now the ads appear more like results and less like, well, ads.
That’s great for Google, but what about the users? Well, the new design bothered me, so I went to work and put together a quick Greasemonkey script to push back the ads. If you’re on Firefox, install Greasemonkey and then install my script.
