Cheers, Antonio Just as a follow up, and to conclude: the former analysis indicates that Google still has a lot to improve in its suggested keywords, specially now that Google Instant has converted those keywords in prime real estate.

This reading took me to try a few searches and realize that, due to the introduction of Google Instant, the only keywords for which you can choose the "I'm feeling lucky" option are the ones that Google suggests in its auto-complete. Do the test, and you will see that "I'm feeling lucky" appears at the right of any suggested keyword when you mouse over it. If you keep typing until your keyword doesn't generate any suggestions, you will have no way of going to the "I'm feeling lucky" page for that keyword. This is a limitation on the functionality of Google Instant, which personally doesn't affect me but might be disappointing for the fans of the "I'm feeling lucky" feature. For those users: you just need to turn instant off and enjoy the traditional Google interface. While playing with this, I tried the following searches: - Query: rise interactive (just typed it in the search bar, without pressing enter) - Suggestions: rise interactive, rise interactive salary, howard diamond rise interactive, nicole banks rise interactive. - Evaluation: all 4 suggestions were related to the company, which is not bad. Is still far from the ideal result though, which would be obtaining more relevant suggestions such as: rise interactive internet marketing, rise interactive seo, rise interactive e-mail marketing, rise interactive careers, rise interactive facebook, rise interactive linkedin, etc. Finally, I decided to go on and click on "I'm feeling lucky" for the suggestion rise interactive salary. Interestingly enough, I ended up in this page: http://www.riseinteractive.com/chicago-marketing-careers/interactive-marketing-intern.php, which is the job posting for the Interactive Marketing Intern position. Although job seekers looking for an internship might be really thrilled to see that this query takes them directly to the job posting that they were looking for, I don't think the rest of job hunters will be very excited. Great blog, Antonio Congrats, amusing post.
