Datasheet
On to the next one
By default Google displays ten results per page. You learn how to adjust that later in this chapter. Once you
review all the results in the page you can continue on to the next page by clicking several different things at
the bottom of the results page. You can click the blue right arrow at the end of the word Goooooooooogle.
You can click the Next
link beneath that. Last, you can click a specific page number to go directly to a spe-
cific page. Ten pages are there initially to choose from. When there are more than ten pages of results,
which is often the case, navigating to some page forward causes Google to show you the next ten pages after
that. For example, navigating to page 10 causes Google to list pages 1 through 19. Once you navigate away
from the first page, a Pr
evious link appears to allow you to navigate backward through the result pages.
Sponsored links
When viewing the results you will notice that on the right side of the page there are sponsored links. These
links are paid for by companies so you can see them when you search on a specific topic. Some sponsored
links may also appear above the other results, and appear with a shaded background to call attention to
them. Google also labels them as sponsored links (see Figure 1.4).
FIGURE 1.4
Sponsored links appear as the first results and to the right side of the results page.
Results that assist you
Depending on the keywords you type, Google may present the results in various ways. For example, if you
search for golden retriever the results page begins by showing you three images of golden retriever puppies.
A similar thing happens when you search on orchids: You are shown three images of orchids.
If you search for a place like Los Angeles or Tampa, the first result is a link to a map of that location. You are
then asked if you want to refine your search and look for: dining guides, attractions, lodging guides, shop-
ping, suggested itineraries, and tour and day trips.
