Interesting. I am also trying to do this. Quite challenging for me. I am very excited to experiment this.

Thanks for sharing nice post.

Really enjoy the read! Have you ever thought about creating a tool/bot that could do this for you? I do public relations here in Los Angeles and this would be absoluty amazing to tap into. Please if you ever create something related to a tool/bot, I would be so interested.

Interesting. Worth noting that the google suggestions are also heavily personalised – it will suggest navigational searches to sites after you’ve visited them, for example.

Which makes it more complicated to tests like this, as you have to remember to turn personalisation off (logging out doesn’t do the job because they still have cookies they can use to link you to some of your historical data).

Thank you for the info.. I would like to add one thing. Keep one thing in mind that this test did not. I did change results PURELY on volume as other have BUT where no matched SERP result exists the result took up to 3 weeks to appear. During that time Google created a SERP to somewhat match the query (though no real result did). IE if you search for Kristine (my last name) loves snow — you will find that it exists in Instant WITH NO exact page match in the SERPS. In fact Google rewrote descriptions to try to make a match.

Also note the volume needed to change the SERP was low – so some of the tests you have run may have simply not had time to materialize yet. I would offer the suggestion that you follow them for the next month or so and see if you have any additional changes not shown yet.

But thanks for the great post as always!

[...] huge amount of interest about Rishi’s experiment around Google Suggest where he suggested it was sheer volume of mentions which influenced what was suggested. This seemed a slightly different outcome from Brent Payne [...]
