Is Google Stealing Your Site Traffic?

December 10th, 2009 by Jeff

Did you know that if you Google a flight number,  it’ll give you the flight status right there in the SERPs?

Who knows if they’ll continue down this path of putting more information directly in the SERP’s as opposed to clicking through to supplier sites, i.e. flight availability, hotel availability, etc.  Something to keep an eye on.  More evidence Google is trying to keep people on their site then directing traffic elsewhere.  Maybe they should revise their “do no evil” slogan.

  1. I don’t see a problem with this yet, but it’s certainly worth monitoring. Have you found other examples? Hotel room prices for example?
