Google has quietly dropped the in depth articles title in the search results, blending them more into the organic listings.
Dr. Pete spotted this way back in March, but honestly, I thought it was either a bug or a test Google would never launch. They actually did launch it.
Here is a screen shot from @SEOlytics of the before and after:
On Wednesday, Dr. Pete noticed the change went live in the Google results and was shocked. He wrote on Twitter:
Radical change in In-depth design - the three links at the bottom are In-depth, not organic - almost indistinguishable --
— Dr. Pete Meyers (@dr_pete) April 8, 2015Indeed, very radical.
I am honestly surprised they removed the title from the results.
