Has anyone else noticed that you cant find Google's wonder wheel now the new 'instant' google has been put into force?
It was never part of Google India. I used to access it from google.com/ncr. But now even that is removed.
what a waste! All that promo on how good it was ... only to get rid of it *argggggggggggh!*
you're right, Google want to make everything faster,
Wow! I just used it a couple days ago. I can't believe its gone.
They even have a paid directory for it, did anyone know? I was about to list mine on it when I saw it cost 5 bucks. Something about they would use your site as an example or something. Now it's gone, strange,,,,,
Wonder Wheel isn't gone. Just turn off Instant Search and you'll see it.

AHA! I just tried to find it too. Guess I need to turn off Google Instant. Thx guys!

Big, fat banner ads across the top of the articles. Another big, fat ad also above the fold at right. I just noticed this. I have no idea how long they have been doing it. I do know that Google hates this practice and will sooner or later open a big can of wupass. This is assuming they haven't...

Why doesn't HP implement a 'Trusted Authors' scheme where established writers can by-pass the 24 hour 'Pending' test for new hubs. As an established writer, I find this very annoying especially as the Google bot trawls Pending hubs, sees the NOINDEX Tag and does not re-crawl the page for days...
