At Google, we’ve found that users are more likely to click on short URLs in the search results than on longer ones.

Seriously guys.
Can’t you keep the web the way it was when I left it for TWO weeks? Who is sleeping on the job? All I ever asked you guys for was to make sure nothing major happens when I’m gone.
But it never fails. The instant I go on vacation, eleventeen different things change (or threaten to change, or start to change) about the web and I come back to an Inbox full of questions.
Says my protégée. I don’t do email anymore.
Here’s a trick people fall for all the time. It’s so common the really scuzzy people have a name for it – it’s called “False Proof.”
It’s when they tell you something that is technically true, but completely irrelevant or immaterial.
Like when a person shows you a check for $75,000 they made from affiliate sales. But they don’t tell you they spent $60,000 in advertising and have to share the rest with several JV partners.
Or when a so-called search expert will say, “I’m number one out of 33 million results.” And you think, really? 33 MILLION?
Then you get their software, ebook, or system, and you find out that even though you’re also able to rank number one for a term that gets 33 million results, none of it sent you any sales, or leads – and really, not much traffic either.

In » Life without Google Day 1: The Ask experiment , ZDNet writer Larry Didgnan swears off Google for a few weeks, and on day one, has replaced the search wife in his life with the tawdry harlot, Ask.
From his Day One experience:
Here are a few thoughts on Ask.com and its redesign. More detailed views are available in the gallery above.
Being able to save a Web page is a nice touch.
The recommendations are helpful and encourage discovery–something that’s sort of old school for me. Typically, I know exactly what I’m looking for and expect it quickly.
Stop what you’re doing (”because I’m about to ruin/the image and the style that you’re used to…” name that tune in the comments and I’ll give you $20 next week). You want to read this excellent article over at Search Engine Land that I just “Dugg”, Google 2.0: Google Universal Search.
The new system officially rolls out today for anyone using Google.com and searching in English. Not everyone will see it at first, but over the course of the next several days, Universal Search should be more, well, universal.
The move potentially should be a huge boon for searchers, while search marketers who have paid attention to the importance of specialized or vertical search will see new opportunities.
