Description	Last year Google underwent the most radical change to its search results to date with the introduction of a "Universal Search" system that blends listings from its news, video, images, local and book search engines among those it gathers from crawling web pages. These additional listings impact hugely on the visibility of organic search results but most businesses don't realise that these "blended Search" results can be influenced in the same way. Universal search certainly complicates the search landscape and is already having a dramatic effect on click throughs. "Blended Search" results will have a significant impact on brands as spoof videos or even your latest TV advertisement could rank higher than your website in Google for a brand search. .
