If I Google Bitcoin I see first three adds and then the bitcoin.org website.
Funny thing is that the first website on page 1 seems to be a phising site or something like that as blockchain there is written as blockchaln.
Topic: Google "Bitcoin" - page 2. (Read 2098 times)
When I google it there is no box and no definition. I know I've seen it before, also sometimes it shows the price at the top. It seems that it is always changing.
Google shows different links/ads for different countries and your previous searches. Mine shows an exchange and realtime quote, the bitcoin.org, then some news and coindesk is near the middle of the page.
Doesn't matter the what pops up when people search "bitcoin". Most people have heard of bitcoin already, they are don't search "bitcoin" as a single word any more, probably "bitcoin wiki" or click on the array of search suggestions. Besides, Coindesk is not a bad place to start reading about bitcoin.

In the past, when we Google Bitcoin the results would be Bitcoin.org with no other additional material. Sometime this or last year, I noticed that Google add in a 'box' which fetch text from Bitcoin.org. Those text explain what is Bitcoin. Just last month or so, Google switched the site to Coindesk.com. I wonder why. Anyone have an answer? I feel that Bitcoin.org explanation is simple and easy to understand. Coindesk.com explanation is long and not easy to understand. Which one do you prefer?
I which I could have the old Bitcoin.org text..

Google dont place websites by their decision, they use some algorithm to index them. So the one that is highest by that is on top.
What is interesting is that most users that will google Bitcoin or just any word, will click on 3rd result first. and then on first.
I'm okay with both actually. But I guess when bitcoin first started, it would make more sense to provide the simplest explanation and by now, with popularity gaining traction, I don't think it would be so difficult to put into it more words to help people understand bitcoin better.
it's better that you get coindesk instead, because he can teach you much more with all the news that come there, and anyway i'm still getting the org site, when i type bitcoin
Google searches are personalized. The page you get in one computer when you search Google is not the same page you get on another computer. That is to say, the search results vary based on the computer you use (if you do not login). You can verify this by doing the same search query on different locations in the area.
Also getting the org site as first result. Then the wiki page. Coindesk is not doing so well ending as the last on the page. Some local language sites are prefered by googles algorithm, which is probably a good thing for google to promote.
I do not think google cares much about what you would expect to come up. They rely on their machines to do the thinking.

From my understanding, Google have special algorithm to decide which site is the most relevant for chosen keywords, based on the content, regular update, number of visits etc.
So, Google robots checking regularly Internet sites and chose the best sites for certain keywords, based on their criteria.
Coindesk probably gives more relevant info on bitcoin subject than other sites.

That is my understanding basically as well. It would be nice if someone in the bitcoin community created a clean, sleek page explaining the basics and were able to get enough traffic for people to get is as their first or second search result.

It's probably because Coindesk covers most of the news regarding Bitcoin.
Therefor one could be searching for Bitcoin news that Bitcoin.org cannot provide.
