Last Wednesday online search god Google Inc. will begin showing videos, photos, results all in one page and other content previously separated into different categories.

 

Google's SERP for "i have a dream" which includes a video of the famous Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech.

Google’s new approach dubbed "universal search" began rolling out last Wednesday afternoon, some requests will produce more than just links pointing to other Web sites but will include images and videos as well.

This of course presents a very big problem for Search Engine Marketing specialist who rely on organic SERP results. This will probably mean that websites will compete for the top spot harder than ever before.
