Last week, Google announced that it was adding the ability for users to add a background image to their search page. The background of the search page this morning was made semi-permanent. Many Google fans, though, did not like this change and wanted to remove the Google background. Removing the image, though, was not initially as simple as Google tools typically are. Instead of dealing with the Google background image, numerous users chose alternatives.

How Google announced the background image
This morning, the Google blog officially announced the Google background image option. Google claims 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.
Doing your own Google background image removal
Removing the background image on Google was the biggest question of the moment on the Google forums. The Google instructions on removal didn't give the desired effect to most people. The instructions said that clicking the "remove background image" link would remove the image. That button, though, only removed a custom-set image you had put on the page. The accessible link if you don't change your image is just "change background image.” Until Google flipped the switch, there was no way to remove the default background image.
Option Google homepages see traffic spike
Within the end, the Google background image could only be removed by Google. Google users, however, have come up with several workarounds to remove the Google background image. There are two alternate Google homepages you can use that do not have the Google background image: http://www.google.com/firefox and also the Google SSL Beta search page. The majority of Google searches that create traffic worth the $ 484 stock price aren’t done from the home page, though – they’re done from toolbars.
