Is this a new Google screen layout

By Liam Lally 15th February 2012 Blog & 1 more

As I sit here writing a few blogs I have just seen the following layout on my Google homepage.

Notice how the Google+ details are now “detached” from the top toolbar – before they would be part of the black toolbar at the top right of the page. I quite like this “look” – is everyone else seeing this (or has everyone seen this for months and I am only just getting around to notice it!!!).

Also it allows me to add anything to my Google+ status updates from the Google homepage – again I don’t recall seeing this (even when it appeared in the toolbar at the top) – I am sure it only allows me to click on my name and choose from a drop down menu of options.

Let me know if you think it is new (or old!).

I asked Liam to do some search engine optimisation on my website and following his recommendations, my ranking improved considerably to the point where I appeared on the first page of Google. I also invited Liam to be invloved in the design and planning of my new website and the research he has done into search phrases has had a considerable impact on the way the site was constructed and I am pleased to say it is performing well. Liam has a great depth of knowledge and will always research key words and phrases to see if they are worth optimising and his honesty and integrity in this respect are outstanding. Liam is also very personable and I felt he really tried to understand my business before making any suggestions. In short, I would have no hesitation in recommending Liam Lally and Zaddle Internet Marketing to any friends or colleagues.

Justin Stockdale - Sense Financial Solutions

I have known Liam for around 8 years and have had many conversations about SEO, Google Ad-words and social media. I attended a course on Google Adwords that Liam was running and found that Liam's knowledge of Google Adwords is fantastic and the way he communicated it ensured I left with my head buzzing, full of ideas. I would recommend any of Liam's courses if you are looking for inspiration on anything Google!
