SERP - State Earnings Related Pension http://www.thepensionservice.gov.uk/state-pension/serps/home.asp —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.66.236.108 (talk) 12:52, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Organic SERP

Why not have the description of Organic SERPs?

I have to second this comment. This page is strictly focused on the search engines and not the search engine result pages that are created to make search engine results happen. I was hoping to come here and find this page with the description already, but it's not present. Mnemnoch (talk) 04:11, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

I have added this as a subsection. —JOHNMOORofMOORLAND (talk) 14:31, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

References?

Nice references.

Speaking of references, it is not clear from the where in the Matt Cutts blog anything is cited from. Is it from the YouTube video embedded in the blog? If so, the video should be cited, not the blog. Please clarify and reform citations. --Emana (Talk) 07:07, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Even though Matt Cutts works for Google, he's not the end-all-be-all for SEO (but neither am I as I just have an opinion). I think it's safe to say that I would hope to see more references on this page than just from Matt Cutts. Google may be number one today, but there was a time when AOL and Yahoo were the major giants. Mnemnoch (talk) 04:14, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

update on citations needed

I have added * First {{cn}} - replaced with Google Ads ref

• Second {{cn}} - removed, existing Hannak et al. ref covers the claim
• Third {{cn}} - replaced with Lewandowski 2008 journal ref These are the only marked citations needed and so I am removing that part of the banner. The udate issue remains.

What about AI snippets, or AI mode?

When "&udm=50" is added to a Google search URL, it sorta means "use AI mode" (and there are probably similar or analogous ways to increase or decrease [or maybe to control, or modify?] the use of AI -- [if any] -- when using "other" search engines).

When that is done, is the resulting web page still ['considered' to be] an "SERP"?

If it is, then ... maybe this article should be expanded to cover those cases.
