New Google SERPS design - What's Changed?

[Vizergy]

I first noticed it the day before yesterday.  It looks like how Google has looked on my Nook HD for a while.  I am not saying it only happened two days ago - that is just when I noticed.  I am watching trends closely but I want Week over Week and Month over Month data before I can say if there have been notable drops or increases.  As it stands any changes have been negligible.

HI,

Just in time Dr Pete has put out this post: http://moz.com/blog/googles-2014-redesign-before-and-after which details quite a few of the changes that seem to be rolling out. Title length is certainly on people's minds and with the bigger font you do seem to be losing some space for characters (check the post comments for some discussion on that). Bit too soon to be seeing much data on click through rates, but so many different things could be affecting this I am not sure you could specifically attribute it to the layout changes anyway...

Andy - do you except private messages?  Tried to send one but it didn't appear to go through.

As far as I'm aware Billy. You can always catch me at info@inetseo.co.uk too

Figured it out... I was using your name rather than your user.  You've got mail.

And you have a reply

Thanks! Yes I see the top comments in the discussion are around that topic. Can't wait to see what the determination is on impact of Titles and/or description specs.
