The idea from Google

"Add an 'I'm NOT Feeling Lucky' button to Google that would automatically take users to a random webpage that would NOT be the topmost return for their query. This option would complement the 'I'm Feeling Lucky' button, giving the search process a creative twist." - would this be popular? Would this increase Google's revenue?

I think this button is useful and convenient. As we know, this kind of website is for search the information or other website which we need. The more information the website get the more people will use it. But sometimes when we are like to go to some websites but we forget the address, then we will try to search it. Normally after we type the key word we will have thousands of links. It's difficult for us to choose. This button probably can go straight to the website which we need. In this case, it will be very useful. So I think it's a good idea, but it won't increase Google's revenue a lot. Because Google is already famous, many people already know this side, so maybe some more people will use this side because of this button, but it wouldn't be a lot. And revenue of this side is not only from people who use this side, but also come from the advertisement. Some other websites pay for google and we people search the information, that website will be in the first page. The price of advertisement depends on how popular the webside is. Google is already very popular, so the price of advertisement wouldn't increase a lot.

So in a word, this maybe will increase Google's revenue,but it won't be a lot.
