Hey there...!!
So, just a few months back I got to know about it. After all, most of us never give it a look, right ? Cause all that we do, when we're on the Google home page, is just type down something on the search bar and click on that 'Search' button.
Have you ever wondered what's that 'I'm Feeling Lucky' button ?
So, here you are, I'm gonna tell you whatever I found out (+ expert touch ).
First of all, you need to understand a bit about the Google search engine, or for that matter, any other usual search engine. Yahh!! I'm talking about Search Engine Optimisation ( SEO ).
Once you are on the Google home page, and you type your search quest ( key words) and search for it, you get a lot of options, all ranked as per preferences. That's what SEO is for. They rank the results for you the most preferred at the top, and so and so.
Now, there's a lot of Google ads and search options, you need to go through, to get what you want.
But, but if you are confident enough and you trust Google's SEO rankings, and you know the top most search would be the best for you ( often, it's from Wikipedia !! ), so all you need to do then is just type your key words on the search bar, like before, and hit the " I'm Feeling Lucky " button, and here you are without going through all those advertisements and irrelevant search options, directly into the most preferred page.
So, basically depending on your search query, the first result is usually the very best guess, so hitting the "I'm feeling lucky" button saves you a few extra seconds, passing through the list of search results.
A fun fact, back in 2007, an analyst suggested that the feature cost Google, about $110 Million, every single year, as 1 % of all searches use this feature and bypass all advertising.
But, after introduction of the Google Instant, you can just get what you prefer easily and directly and the "Lucky" feature is no more of that much use.
You just found out something great today, isn't it ?
