As of Today 9/8/10, Google will be moving forward with a new technology called Google Instant.

Google Instant is basically an integration of Predictive Search Phrases combined with a Search Engine Results Page (SERP).

Anyone who has used the Google Search Tool Bar will see how Google will try and predict what query you are entering in before you finish. Google provides a few guesses which appear grayed out below the box. Up until now they were merely suggestions – As of Today, Google Instant now powers dynamic SERPs without ever pressing the Search button.

Notice in this example, I searched for Engine Rea, but I did not say Engine Ready nor did I press search. After 3 seconds, if Google has provided a suggestion, it will automatically render the page as if you performed the search using the 1st Predictive Query in the box! This counts as an AdWords Keyword Impression

What will this do to online performance? Will this assist a user in finding a more relevant result or will the user simply drop dead from seizures caused by the ever rapidly changing ‘dynamic’ page?

As a rule of thumb, mark today in your calendars so you can benchmark Impression volume pre and post Google Instant’s implementation.

Please post any findings you see on your accounts here.
