Google tests feature to help users click from websites to competitors<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/h3>\r\n

– Search Engine Journal<\/span><\/p>\r\n

“Google announced it is experimenting with a new feature that allows users to see search results while on a web page, without having to click back to the search results. The goal is to help users compare search results and make it easy to quickly click away from a web page and visit a competing web page.”<\/p>\r\n

– Seer Interactive<\/span><\/p>\r\n

“Noise can make it very difficult for a marketer to separate true impact of an optimization from, well, everything else that\u2019s going on in the world.
