Google has new ads on the left side after search
 

Does this annoy anyone?

I read a newspaper article written by person who does not like it.

Yes it does.
:disgust

annoy it does

a newspaper shows recent news and events

i love it :2 cents:

its great to actually search for something and find related articles and not some BS on about.com or ehow.com

It is VERY annoying. Did not appear in the older browser, so i'm gona downgrade. It's that annoying.

LOL, that was funny.

Yah sux big time.

I don't see ads, but I do sometimes get the "everything bar" on the left side. Takes up waaaay too much room, and I don't need/use it.

I delete my cookies and it goes away, but I'm sure they'll make it a permanent fixture eventually.

I noticed the column only a few minutes ago. I do not like it.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh i was gonna open wikipedia but said fuck it lolol

Is this only for certain search terms? I'm not getting any links or ads when I search G...

if you are using google chrome btw there is a extension that will make it disappear

Damnit, it just came back and won't go away when I delete cookies. Guess it's here to stay. :mad:

It screwed up one of the seo plugins i use :(

I don't see any ads, but they do feature a left-side navigation, akin to what Bing has done. So far, the links don't add much value to my searches, except for the date filters, which I use frequently.

I think they just have so many tools at this point, that they're in need of more on-page 'real estate'.

I read a newspaper once. I liked it. I hear that some people buy newspaper every day.

same here

Link please?

I use FF, but this thing makes google results useless on my netbook.

Thanks. Found out they also make one for FF.

i noticed it yesterday and thought wtf is this shit now lololl

You can buy a paper newspaper or you can get news online from trusted sources such as http://www.news.google.com (which includes CNN in search results) and http://www.cnn.com.

A lot of the options added were already available, they were just condensed/tucked away. I think most people are annoyed due to the fact that it forces your eyes to scan the page for the content that you're used to seeing stacked on the left side. Definitely an annoyance.

An article I read yesterday showed a screenshot with one of the columns filled with Twitter results! :1orglaugh Quality stuff!

I don't like it. Too cluttered.

They just made the options for your search more visible rather than being completely tucked away. its not THAT bad. Did anyone notice that you can do a google image search by color now? Pretty insane.

i have been pissed about it yesterday, tried to search around and looks like there is some plugin for firefox, but not sure how that works ... anyway this is totally fucked up, as its only duplicated menu from top left and the results are much more chaotic ... fuck off google, we owe you but this is a bad bad move ... :2 cents:

My eyes are burning because of this additional column. Shit :\

Google ... Google ... didn't there used to be a search engine called Google? I wouldn't know - I switched to Bing about a year ago and tend to forget there are any other search engines out there. See, I refuse to help the evil empire grow stronger.

I read a forum post that this annoyed someone.

Google image search by color? What is this? No, I did not notice such a thing.

However, I would like to point out that the Google Adwords search results appear higher in the rankings than any usual results. The Google Adwords results are in a different font color, which could make surfers click them more often.

i hate new look out

Ya do an image search for anything. On the new left hand navigation there is color squares to sort images by color. Pretty insane.

:1orglaugh

google is a search engine

Google is a search engine, yes.

I don't like the new look at all.

I also don't like that they are now sticking ads on fast flip.

Bing is a search engine, as well.

for the life of me, I see no fucking ads on the left, on the old sponsored links on the right
