Last week, Google announced that it was adding the ability for users to add a background image to their search page. This morning, the Google background image seems to have gone compulsory. Numerous Google fans, though, did not like this change and wanted to remove the Google background. Removing the Google background image, though, was not exactly simple. Before Google returned the primary page to the white background, but numerous users chose alternatives instead of seeing the image.

The business word on Google background image



The Google background image was officially announced on the Google blog this morning. Google claims that the background image will not slow load times at all. This new feature was highlighted with the image on the Google homepage, which has since been removed.



The steps to remove the Google background image



Not all users are happy about this change, and how to remove the Google background image is the biggest question of the day on the Google forums. Google’s instructions didn’t fully explain the move, though. Google claims the "remove background image" link within the bottom left hand corner will return things to normal. That button, though, only removed a custom-set image you had put on the page. Otherwise, the link in the bottom left-hand corner will say "change background image." In other words, there is no way to entirely remove the Google background image - at least for today.



Work around the Google background image



In the end, the Google background image could only be removed by Google. You can work around seeing the Google background image, though. Two Google pages that did not have the background image – google.com/firefox and https://www.google.com both saw spikes in traffic today. Either way, the majority of Google searches occur each day not from the Google homepage, but from toolbars and built-in search on other sites - a huge amount of traffic which helps contribute to the $ 484 stock price.
