Google finally coming down to Earth

[temi]

Google stock, like the property market in UK is grossly over inflated, its an interesting coincidence that they are both gluging down to earth at about the same time.

Read this interesting article about Google finally bowing down to gravity:

Google is finally discovering gravity. First, the company missed Wall Street revenue forecasts in the fourth quarter for the first time. Then a pair of reports from market researcher comScore (SCOR) , the latest on Mar. 26, said U.S. growth in the number of clicks on the paid ads appearing next to Google's search results essentially flatlined for two months running compared with a year ago. Six months ago, paid clicks were growing up to 40% annually.

I wonder if the fact that the URL and Title are only clickable now for most sites may have something to do with it?

It could well be, I am sure they will not want to shout that too loudly as it could mean that they have been ripping customers off in the past by making unnecessary section of adverts click able hence big adwords buyers may demand a refund.
