Yahoo cited a study that found only 15 percent of searchers find what they want with the first search they perform.

| Are You Fatigued By Search? |
The situation forms part of what motivated Yahoo’s search team to launch Search Assist, a new feature for Yahoo Search, earlier this month.
Larry Cornett and Tom Chi said at the Yahoo Search blog they wanted to improve not just the search, but the query as well, by making it smarter. This would help people who customarily need three or four searches to find what they need.
The release of Search Assist breaks the problem of searching into two parts, they said. Part one is the autocomplete function of Search Assist. It speeds up typing the query and helps the poor spellers out there find what they want.
They also cited part two of the solution, where Search Assist helps people move sideways, backward or forward with a query:
So if you started with a query for ‘Thom Yorke,’ you might get a forward (refining) suggestion for ‘Eraser,’ his most recent album, or a backward (expanding) suggestion for ‘Radiohead,’ the band he’s a member of. You could also get a sideways (or related) suggestion such as ’solo albums’ which, when clicking on the term in the left-hand column of Search Assist, will lead you to other lead singers with solo albums like Gwen Stefani or Eddie Vedder.
Search Assist is a friendly, powerful tool for searching. As search industry observers, we like seeing technology that makes it easier for people to accomplish their searches, along with spurring competition to raise the bar even further in the field.

| Pay Per Click Party Over? |
Even more impressive is that pay per click has empowered literally hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs in their web businesses. Quite a few sites, which prior to pay per click would have trouble making money, are earning more than $10,000 per month. Large sites such as NY Times, CNN, BusinessWeek and ESPN are also using pay per click to supplement their ad revenue.
Pay per click seems to be booming … but is the party soon to be over?
Blogger Steve Rubel came up with five reasons (in bold) on why pay per click is in trouble. I’ll take a look at each one of his points below.
1) Clutter
Google didn’t invent text ads, it just popularized them. Their Adsense program has made it simple for sites to add which has caused a glut of text ads everywhere you click. I see the "clutter" problem as an Adsense clutter problem that leads to a phenomenon all web publishers have dealt with … ad blindness.
When people get used to seeing a certain style of ad across the web, click rates go down…. and down and down! That’s why banners originally got up to 8 percent click rates when they were first introduced by Wired.com. Good click rates now are .25 - .75% for top banners. Clutter contributes to ad blindness which causes lower click rates which could mean the glory days are over for pay per click.
As for clutter in search results, I see this as a problem of an educated user base. When text ads first appeared in search results the average user didn’t identify them as ads, thus they had a great click rate. Now only the most casual users still doesn’t realize what is and isn’t an ad in search results, resulting in much lower click rates. This problem will only get worse over time.
What can search engines do to combat this "clutter effect"? The answer is to make the ads look less like ads. If 3 line text ads are obvious ads, how about 1 line ads integrated within the search results that might look like this:
>>> Read a review of all BMW’s and click for best prices here.
Google and the other engines need to find a way to make the ads blend better with search results and content. How far they can go with this strategy without alienating the searcher or site visitor is the question.
2) Declining Relevance of Traffic/Transition to Cost Per Action
People are still clicking in big numbers but evidence suggests they are not converting as much. My guess is that conversions of ads in search results are not as much of an issue as conversions from Adsense partner clicks. This has become a bigger problem as the Adsense program has grown.
3) Rising Costs
Click costs have gone up substantially since the good old days of GoTo.com where you could buy clicks for as little as one cent. Marketers must justify their expenditures on advertising based on its impact on sales. Will the increasing cost of text ads for most key words cause cuts in search marketing budgets?
I actually don’t see prices falling any time soon. The world is competing for keywords and bidding them up as necessary. Some may look for other Internet marketing options but the world is a big marketplace and so far there is no shortage of bidders.
The rising cost has its biggest impact on small business where price matters more. When small businesses are cut out of buying popular key words they may eventually just give up on search marketing - not good in the long run for the search engines.
4) Marketers Spread the Ball Around
The Internet has changed since search engines began selling text ads. You now have social media like MySpace, Facebook and Twitter. We have seen the rise of widgets where call to action ads will likely be integrated. Video is now mainstream with sites (like WebProNews) making video part of everyday content. The Internet is becoming accessible via many devices making it an accessory of life!
Marketers now have the ability to market products and services that are integrated into the user experience. Content can be ads and ads can be content. Marketers are becoming smarter in how they use the Internet. It is just a matter of time before a critical mass of advertisers see pay per click text ads as atool past its prime.
5) Search Ads Are Viewed as Untrustworthy
As with anything that gets a lot of bad press (think click fraud) people start to wonder about its trustworthiness. I don’t think this is critical yet, but Google and the others must find a better way to detect, deter and prevent click fraud.
Additionally, the engines must be more selective about their pay per click partner sites. There are many sites that exist solely to get "pay per click" clicks. This is bad for Google, Yahoo and Microsoft because it leads to a general uneasiness among ad buyers.
