In a move that might result in marketers having kittens and jumping from Rooftops has Google gone too far? In a sample query run today in a Chome “incognito” window I noticed that the results were a little different. There was 3 organic results and 7 Google places results. That’s right only 10 results with 30% being organic…
Update: I’ve seen it happen again this time with 6 places and 6 organic results.
Are you sure that you are not getting hybrid places listings? Do another search in places on its own and post a picture.
Are you on fixed line or mobile broadband?

Andrew, I did the search on my PC running on ADSL but tried to replicate it again and I couldn’t replicate it. Darryl King said he saw the same thing last night on a search he did.
Andrew, it’s a standard Google “everything” result, it showed up again this time with 6 places and 6 organic results. If I select “more places results” I get a full page of just places listings.
It doesn’t appear to be a hybrid result it seems to be the new Organic results which are being tested.
