As we posted earlier today, most SEOs say their referrals haven't changed since Google Instant launched. That is a good thing, and it complies a lot on what Conductor reported, where search behavior seems to be pretty much the same as it was prior to Google Instant.
Knowing that, I would assume most SEOs wouldn't be adjusting their SEO efforts. Of course, soon after Google Instant launched the topic of SEO is dead came up again. Yes, many shot him down.
Having seen all of this, will you change your SEO strategy at all? Will your optimization or keyword research or method of going after searchers change at all?
A Google Webmaster Help thread has conversation on this topic. Some say it will impact how people search, some people it will lead to more searches and so on. People are sharing case studies in the thread, so it can get interesting.

So far in my own personal experience, nothing really changed, though I still think it's too early to tell. Let's just see.

It's one of Google's attempt to curtail Black Hat SEO tactics. Unfortunately, a lot SEO specialists, particularly those doing Black Hat, aren't buying it.

I do not think that new research shows little benefit ... not for the users and not for SEO ... time will tell ... I think at the moment: the movement is substantially the same. Motorcycle Parts
