This month marks the tenth anniversary of Google’s existence - doesn’t it seem like we’ve all been Googling for answers to all our internet questions much longer than that? More importantly, Google has gone from a upstart search engine to perhaps the biggest player on the internet - and as an SEO company, we have a more…adversarial relationship with Google than most.

Yes, we want to dominate Google’s (and Yahoo and MSN’s) search results, but we also use Google for research purposes, as well as Gmail, Google calendars, and more every day. That is why we are excited to see what Google does with its new browser - Google Chrome - as well as seeing what they do with their new “Google Video for Business” (in fact, our online marketing and web design company has been planning on creating our own video tutorials and more, and this new launch from Google may be just what we need to get started).

So what does this mean for SEO consultants, online marketers, and web designers/programmers? First of all, web designers and developers have one more item on their cross-browser compatibility list. For SEO and marketing types, this means that Google will have even more information on our internet surfing habits, at least for those of us who use Chrome (c’mon, you know they are tracking that stuff). Therefore, Google should be able to deliver even more accurate, relevant search results - at least in an ideal world.

There are also a number of improvements that Chrome offers, like crash-free browsing (each tab and application are partitioned in different windows, quicker navigation, and Google Gears integration for a better off-line experience. From the Googlers themselves:

“We realized that the web had evolved from mainly simple text pages to rich, interactive applications and that we needed to completely rethink the browser,” wrote Sundar Pichai, vice president of product management, and Linus Upson, Google engineering director, in a blog post.

“What we really needed was not just a browser, but also a modern platform for web pages and applications, and that’s what we set out to build.”

We can’t wait to check out Chrome for ourselves.
