Google Instant: Potential Impact on SEM and SEO

"Google has unveiled a new search feature, Google Instant, which promises to provide users with an
easier, faster and predictive way to search. Some pundits are calling this the most significant change to
the Google search page since the advent of AdWords. Google Instant anticipates what you are searching
for, and provides search results “instantly” as you type. Users have seen suggested keywords appear in
the search box as they type through the feature known as “Google Suggest.” With Google Instant, users
now see not only the predicted keyword, but the corresponding search results page before typing the
entire keyword and hitting enter"
