Caught in a Google Experiment as Test User

Google Search Experiment

Google Search Experiment

Look ma’ no hands!! While looking into an issue (beyond the fact that I misspelled Atlanta in my search)  as a web developer and seo practitioner I ran into a Google search results page that displayed far more than I was expecting. I came across an article on Mashable that said Google randomly selects people for beta testing. Although, a cursory search did not locate the article (I’ll update with a link once located).

There are pro’s and con’s to that, which I’ll outline later but an FYI would have been appreciated. I’ll see if Google equally surprises me with a phat fat check!

I’ve since learned that I accidently enabled an SEO toolbar and Firefox plugin that modified my Google SERPs.
