They voiced these concerns in casual conversations with me during the opening day of the Search Insider Summit in Captiva Island, Fla. So I asked experts for help with this issue.

Nectarios Economakis, director of search marketing at Media Experts, a traditional and digital agency, has begun to see more search engines experimenting with different ad formats because it's in their best financial interest to have more real estate on the page.

"One sneaky little thing that Google did was move sponsored listing on the right a little to the left," which puts the paid search ads more in the line of sight, he says. "It just confirms that companies need to be on page one in organic listings, because if you're not, you simply don't exist."

Reliable-SEO Founder David Harry says real-time search hasn't been shown to be overly effective. Queries return much less RTS-related information. Marketers should look more into universal elements -- Google news, video etc. -- rather than the RTS ones. "Many of these only show up in certain high level query spaces, which means there are plenty of opportunities to improve on mid-range and long-tail queries," he says. "We still need to be mindful of how the search results pages evolve. But are [marketers] taking the [real-time] 'buzz' too seriously? Probably."

Harry says it's not as easy to control RTS results. The percentage of real estate remains small. He believes the real estate at the top of the query will remain with the media relations and social sites.

The HuoMah forum ran a survey in December to ask search engine optimization (SEO) community members how Google's real-time search will influence SEO. Although it was a small sampling, 37.1% felt it would have limited impact due to query types. Twenty nine percent felt Google "opened a can of spam," followed by 19.4% who believed it was a "game changer."
