Looking at one specific category of online browsing, paid search engines, we have seen that Google has altered and modified many of its policies again and again. Some have proven to be more beneficial than others for both advertisers and consumers. Over the period of 2009, Google introduced many changes in local ads after every 3 months or so. We have many examples of the changes, and these will be discussed below.

In the very second month of 2009, February, Google added more markers to its maps. These was quite beneficial to local searchers as they now had more information and could even see other businesses that weren't part of the local pack. In April and June, Google added two different changes; For starters it excluded geo-modifiers and then made new local business listing reports. Moreover in October, tired to reduce the crowding and suspended the process of creating new local business ads by Ad Words.
