Google has gone just 1 step further than it’s competitors in the world of “suggestion” to the searcher. I had previously blogged about Aaron Wall‘s tips
about getting a “fat belly“ and targeting particular keyword terms that would be likely to be suggested by Google. Well, now they’ve taken the next step: Adwords in Google suggest. Now I am displaying these when I log into two different accounts, and when I am signed out. A co-worker doesn’t currently see the same advertisements.

When I type in the “ad” I get an advertisement for Advance Auto Parts. It seems to me that Danny Sullivan is also seeing these results, what do you all think this means for search/SEM?

Ive checked this from my iGoogle in Chrome and Fire Fox 3 and have yet to run into a similar result…
what browser are you finding this in?
could it possibly be an added feature to a plugin you recently added?

I was using Firefox 3, using the IE tab, and not using the IE tab, logged into Igoogle, and not logged in. However, when I came home, it wouldn’t have the same behavior- I beleive they may have whole data centers running it as a giant bucket test..
