Have I fallen into a test balloon in which Google removes the display of the number of results? I noticed it during a site query. Please don't - I need this from time to time.

cc: is that new @rustybrick 🙂

I noticed this recently, too. But it seems to depend on the search terms or the test is turned on and off, as I have seen examples with and without number of results within single sessions.

Just found something interesting on a Bing SERP: they were not only showing individual images as usual, but were combining several images in one frame.

In the close-up image you can see current products as well as their predecessors. Meaning: these older images are not at all displayed on the website.

My guess is that the Bing algorithm groups images together, which have something in common - as long as they are to be found on that webserver.

Close-up of the 5th search result from the Bing image SERP for "kuhbonbon". The big image is showing an older version of a bag of vegan caramels from the brand "Kuhbonbon". To the right of the bigger image are three smaller images with an older version of the wrapper as well as the new bag and the new wrapper.

@simoncox Yes, I agree.

Thinking from an SEO perspective one would assume that images present on a website should clearly rank much higher than anything which is (from oversight) left on a server.

Possibly it is a good idea to have something like a regular spring cleaning of webservers. Just get rid of all the outdated info, images and documents to make sure that the important stuff is getting the eyeballs.

Just saw the sneakiest ad label on a search engine EVER.

I wonder, if you can spot it at first glance.

It´s hard to find a good reason, why Bing would test something like this, which could potentially piss off lawmakers.

#bing #ads #SEO #SearchEngines #SERP #search

The same Bing SERP for "buy car". This time only the first (paid) result is shown. A yellow highlight is added for the ad label in order to make it easier findable.

Bing seems to be running a new test on their first SERPs: besides blue boxes for sitelinks of the organic number one result, they were showing 2 grey boxes for some other results in the left column.

Possibly these boxes represent entities and main keywords of these pages.

At first glance I don´t see the advantage for regular users. So, maybe this is giving a glimpse into how Bing organizes results? Maybe it's not meant for the public?

#SEO #Bing #SERP #search #entities

Lower part of the same Bing SERP for "test". Here three more results are shown with two light grey boxes each in the left column.
