hi all,

Does anyone here think or have heard of Google ever putting an end to natural SERPS?Think about it....right now they could easily put the first entire page dedicated to PPC and the natural SERPS would only come up after nobody was willing to pay .05 for the last position.
My thoughts is this will happen when their share value starts dropping and their growth forecast is lowered by analysts. How easy it would be for them to control their income levels by flicking a switch that says "display X amount of PPC per page" Could you imagine if Ford or General Electric could massively manipulate their income that way. What other company on the planet can have this much control over their income??? Me= CEO of Google "Rumour has it shareholders are not happy with our income level.

I don't see that happening. The reason that Goole gets the traffic it does is because of the relevant organic results. Once you take away the organic relevance it becomes nothing more than parked domain with a crap loads of adds. Do you visit any of those sites for search results? -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Out of respect for my fellow web advertisers I NEVER ever click a PPC ad and cost the person money. I know what its like in my industry for click fraud and I will never click an advertisement.

In the past too, many small and mid-size search engines have tried this to increase their revenue, but this has'nt really worked. I dont think google will do that unless and untill t -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Its more about google having "Authorities" hand pick results vs the current structure. This is a first move to having some changes in the SERPs results. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

master, I couldn't understand what you mean to say here, the OP has posted that google may stop displaying natural SERP's and instead show PPC ads there.
Showing authority site is virtually showing natural SERP's. Infact this is what google is doing right now in most of the searches. They show authority sites on first page of all important and large volume keywords.
Although on small volume keywords, some people manage to get their non-authority site on the first page by SEO and other stuff -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
