Google Instant is a simple numbers game of supply and demand. By showing results as users type, Google is trying to shrink the total pool of keyword phrases people search on – because the ads you see as you type are based on Google’s hypothesis of the ultimate search term, not on what the user has typed in so far. Combine this with limiting the Keyword Tool, in an effort to shrink the total pool of keyword phrases people bid on. All of these changes are designed to drive up competition on a core set of phrases, thereby driving up advertisers’ costs per click.

did it work?

The way it seems as of now, Google is raking in a additional five million bucks every week owing to the launch of the Google Instant.

Marin Software ran an analysis on the Instant and found that the new interface has indeed paid off by increasing the ad impressions by nearly one tenth and the click throughs of the ads by a twentieth of what it used to be before the launch of the new application.
