And yet again

Google seems to be experimenting with the 'F' and 'Z' patterns of scanning through a webpage and therefore, I am finding it more and more interesting to follow the 'Chrome download' icons. Find here yet another version the same on Google Search home page (see red box below):

I will continue following-up on this thread as and when I notice something more interesting about Google :)

Google Yet Again

Try typing a wrong URL in your browser window and if Google is your default search page, then you can't miss Chrome yet again (read below):

I was wondering where do all these links take you to, and this is how the download page looks like (read below):

Google: the Big Daddy of All Promotions

Google is setting a new trend in promoting its very own browser Chrome by deploying innovative and low-cost measures. 

Most avid users would list three webpages that they use frequently i.e. Google Search, Mail (usually Gmail) and Orkut (many more users compared to Facebook!). Keeping this in mind, Google probably has started a pilot to promote Chrome by constantly reminding the users of its presence and giving a quick link to an easy download. 

You can't miss Chrome on Google Search (see red box below):

And they wouldn't give-up if you don't. They have other ways to get this done (see red box below):

And when you have finally downloaded, it does exclaim 'bravo!' (see red box below):

 

So why should Google pilot the cross-promotion of Chrome with Search and Orkut? Well, Search because it is the least intrusive and the most popular. Orkut because it can fun, funny and extremely informal as contrary to something very personal such as Gmail. Also, I believe it makes more sense to implement Adsense in Gmail than promote Chrome. Any thoughts?
