Earlier this year, Google Suggest finally made it to the Google home page. The feature suggests queries as you begin typing in the search box. Now Google is testing providing links to web sites, direct answers and even ads that appear within the Google Suggest list.

Not everyone will see these changes. Google’s showing them to a small, randomly selected group of people in the US. The experiment might end at any time and not necessarily become a permanent feature.

The most dramatic change is the inclusion of AdWords ads in this box. Here are some of the ones that have been spotted:
In the one above, typing the characters [new...] gave an ad for Newsweek. On continueing on, doing [new york t...], rather than seeing a link to the New York Times as with the example shown earlier, this ad from the New York Times itself was shown.
And here’s yet another ad that appeared on typing [up...]:

For one thing, it’s way too easy for people to click on an ad to reach a web site where Google should be sending them to for free. So, this is yet another means the giant has worked out to pocket dollars !
