Today at SEOmoz, Dr. Peter Meyers crunched some rankings using SEOmoz?s new Mozcast Google ?turbulance?prediction tool. He doesn?t say how many rankings he looked at, but it was likely several hundred if not several thousands.
In his post (be sure to check it out), Meyers spotted that about 20% of the search engine results pages (SERPs) at Google now show only 7 listings:

I have seen it but I hadn't yet seen it on first page results. Starting around page 3 or 4 for a lot of the keywords in my niche i start to see 3 ads on the top and 3 ads on the bottom, effectively limiting search results. Sometimes its actually less than 7....
 
Less organic results, more paid results. More click on the ads, more money. Buy GOOG.
 
Same, i see 7 website by searching ebay, and amazon , black hat world .

They will show results if 1st website will be like this one

yeah , looks like they will show only paid results , maybe after few years there will be only paid results :D
 
I suspect the further they push it, the more people it will piss off. Someone might be even so pissed as to release a new friendly type of virus, that writes this simple line into the hosts file:

127.0.0.1 googlesyndication.com
 
I have seen this. Bing does this too.

I think Google's agenda is to try and manipulate the paid into looking like the organic. Eventually, page 2, will be the new page 1 for organic.
 
I found that these results are typically when your search queries are brands or pictures.
For example: pictures of dogs

However, when you place an adjective in front of the word that triggers the 7 search results, you get the 10 again.
For example: funny pictures of dogs

So brands and pictures. What else has anyone found that triggers a 7 result page?

This also makes me think more about putting a much stronger emphasis on building good domain authority than before.

It's not that bad if you have pages at position 6-7, coz in the regular listing of 10 people click more on the 9th or 10th than on the results between 4-8.
 
Yep, page 2 will be the new page one for organic results the way google are going on about things. Madness.
