What do you think? Is this keeping people off your site?
That was my first reaction. “NO! I want people to click through to see my page!”
But now I’m wondering if this is actually helping my brand. After all, now people that might be looking for Chris Brogan’s post (the second search result) might actually get to see my site as I’ve designed it to be seen.

For what it’s worth, the link to my take on being social in social media: How personal should your social media be?
This preview tool is designed to improve search queries relevance. It will probably be more useful to the searchers but should also increase conversion. Webmasters though have to consider a few things to make the site respond to that new tool, e.g. it can not display flash.
