Fair enough but.. Very Rude! A notice should of been sent to me AHEAD OF TIME ,then it would of given me time to pay them and keep the blog live, but as it turns out, they turned out the light with no notice to me, and when i inquired, they said you owe, which no doubt the bill is due, but what a pain in the ass. I went to show my relative my blog and it was gone... So Hostgator guess what? I am not coming back good bye thank you for shitty hosting, i had nothing but problems anyhow hosting with you.

I just did a test of my own with google on a more specific product, "Rainbow vacuum cleaners", and had 3 google shopping results below the sponsored links. I was hoping to post an image of my results but I have no idea how. Below the shopping results there was still room for 5 organic search results above the fold. What I am curious about is what happens when the search returns sponsored links, google shopping, google maps, google images, youtube and any other gadget results above the organic search. I highly doubt google will let this happen, but if it did I think it would completely change the approach of getting #1 on google SERP because everything above the fold would be directly from google's various services. As another experiment, I reset my browser and cleared history, empty cache, remove cookies, among some other things. Then I did the same Rainbow vacuum cleaners search and the google shopping listings did not show up, just the sponsored links. I also looked into getting listing in google shopping but just as I had assumed, google does not allow affiliate sites to list products. Makes sense or else it would become spammy. Thanks for the thorough answer.

There might be some interesting things in there. I also will check out Google Gadgets that sounds like a good idea to get your blog syndicated to people's home page. Thanks for the continued information. Thanks for the heads up Gary,

So, let's take a look at that and see what we come up with. So to begin with, I did a very random search for the term <strong>Wholesale Vacuum Cleaners</strong> in the four major search engines: <a href="http://www.ask.com/web?q=wholesale+vacuum+cleaners" rel="nofollow">Ask.com</a>, <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=wholesale+vacuum+cleaners" rel="nofollow">Google.com</a>, <a href="http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=wholesale+vacuum+cleaners" rel="nofollow">Live.com</a>, and <a href="http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=wholesale+vacuum+cleaners" rel="nofollow">Yahoo.com</a>. The findings were pretty interesting. <h2>Ask.com</h2> Ask.com had three sponsored listings directly above the organic search results. I find that there is a lot of wasted space between each sponsored listing. The result is that only TWO organic results are shown above top fold. Ask.com did not have any sponsored listings on their sidebar and they did include related links to other search possibilities. <a href="http://www.garryconn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/wholesale-vacuum-cleaners-ask.png" rel="nofollow"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6076" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="wholesale-vacuum-cleaners-ask" src="http://www.garryconn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/wholesale-vacuum-cleaners-ask-300x219.png" alt="wholesale-vacuum-cleaners-ask" width="300" height="219" /></a> <h2>Google.com</h2> Google.com had two sponsored listings with the option of having a third listing filled. Even with if the third sponsored listing was filled, Google would still show three results with the title of the forth result showing above top fold. <a href="http://www.garryconn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/wholesale-vacuum-cleaners-google.png" rel="nofollow"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6077" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="wholesale-vacuum-cleaners-google" src="http://www.garryconn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/wholesale-vacuum-cleaners-google-300x225.png" alt="wholesale-vacuum-cleaners-google" width="300" height="225" /></a> <h2>Live.com</h2> Live.com seemed to provide the most balance. They have three sponsored links above the organic listings. Three organic listings on the top fold. They have related searches on the sidebar and sponsored links on the sidebar. <a href="http://www.garryconn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/wholesale-vacuum-cleaners-live.png" rel="nofollow"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-6079" style="border: 1px solid black;" title="wholesale-vacuum-cleaners-live" src="http://www.garryconn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/wholesale-vacuum-cleaners-live-300x224.png" alt="wholesale-vacuum-cleaners-live" width="300" height="224" /></a> <h2>Yahoo.com</h2> Yahoo.com was very similar to Google.com. Three sponsored links, three organic results above top fold.

I can say this, of the four major search engines, Google is the only search engine that delivers me massive amounts of organic traffic. This isn't a ranking issue either. Most all of my blogs and the content from within rank equally well across the board. The problem is that the other search engines simply don't get any traffic. I think Google is doing a great job with balancing paid listings compared to organic listings. As far as the quality in the organic ranking, well... in all honesty, all four search engines didn't return too much at all. And while we are on that topic, the term <strong>wholesale vacuum cleaners</strong> might not be a bad keyword phrase to target. Hi Scott,

That is a great question to ask. So, let’s take a look at that and see what we come up with.

So to begin with, I did a very random search for the term Wholesale Vacuum Cleaners in the four major search engines: Ask.com, Google.com, Live.com, and Yahoo.com. The findings were pretty interesting.

Ask.com

Ask.com had three sponsored listings directly above the organic search results. I find that there is a lot of wasted space between each sponsored listing. The result is that only TWO organic results are shown above top fold. Ask.com did not have any sponsored listings on their sidebar and they did include related links to other search possibilities.

Google.com

Google.com had two sponsored listings with the option of having a third listing filled. Even with if the third sponsored listing was filled, Google would still show three results with the title of the forth result showing above top fold.

Live.com

Live.com seemed to provide the most balance. They have three sponsored links above the organic listings. Three organic listings on the top fold. They have related searches on the sidebar and sponsored links on the sidebar.

wholesale-vacuum-cleaners-live

Yahoo.com

Yahoo.com was very similar to Google.com. Three sponsored links, three organic results above top fold. Sponsored links in the sidebar with no option for related searches.

All in all I think all four of the major search engines are very balanced for people who want to pay for traffic as well as people who want to work towards scoring free organic traffic. I can say this, of the four major search engines, Google is the only search engine that delivers me massive amounts of organic traffic.

My question is how much "google content" can google put at the top of the SERP before the organic results lose eyeballs because they are too low? Very interesting.
