PlusBox is Google’s New Weapon
Jonah Stein of SEOmoz recently took a look at the effect of Google’s new PlusBox.
PlusBox is a new plus sign that appears next to search results and shows additional information related to the query, such as stock prices.
Will this deprive users of additional traffic? Yes. Will it provide users with a better search engine experience? Yes. If this process continues, then all basic queries will eventually be answered by Google.
Will this be better for the internet? Perhaps. Many websites will lose significant amounts of traffic, and people will be forced to create more unique and advanced content. In any case, Google’s content advancement threatens many more basic websites and will rearrange the nature of the internet itself.
