With so many emerging technologies and constantly evolving behaviour patterns, how can you plot your course? The old adage “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” as survived the ages for a reason, things can change very quickly, especially on the web, so look at using all of these technologies to see what is working for you and most importantly, ask yourself if you are truly serving your customer. Websites that launch with the sole intention of profit rarely succeed when compared to websites that truly provide a truly good product, or a valuable service.

I would think that they would want to promote their blog search instead of blogger. You are clearly looking for blog related content, so plug the new project not blogger. Jeremy,

It's labeled a "tip," which means its exactly that, a tip from Google. It may be a bias tip, but everybody knows the tip is from Google and they are free to take it or reject it. Just my 2 cents. i don’t think it’s deceptive because it’s clear that it is not part of the search results. It’s labeled a “tip,” which means its exactly that, a tip from Google.

Google offers a massive range of services, some of which are very good, however they are underused because people don't know about them. Google Code Search, Google Earth, Google Maps, Google Video - all great services, but how many people actually explore past the search page? Not enough. I have found another search instance which triggers a launch to another Google Service. Try searching for "Turkey Recipes" or [insert here] + recipes and you will get a drop down asking for the main ingrediant of the recipe you are after and cuisine, with a search box. Hitting search takes you to Google Base service. Is this advertising Google Base, or is it Google's way of enhancing its relevance? Personally, if the advert is directly related, I don't mind.

I guess they are just trying to use as much power as they can to promote their blogger service. Thank you for sharing this story with me !
