New Google Results Format

Took awhile, but I finally saw this, too. Not sure what to think yet, but it does make the results page look different which will draw a bunch of attention to what is different.

 

I just found some links below one of my pages in the Google SERPs. I tried another search, and it seems like some searches gave the same thing. I've never seen this on Google before-- is this new?

Do they go to additional SERP's for the domain, or are those advertisements?

 

Thankfully, they go to other pages on that domain. I can't find why some searches come up with these, and not others. They got through a Google redirect script that looks like this:

http://www.google.com/url?sa=U&star....com/Spyware-Doctor/3000-8022_4-10377263.html

Maybe Google is testing it out to see how it works...

The first search result has this sometimes. I've seen it for my site and I've done nothing to affect it. I think it takes your top pages from your site

 

Thdre's another thread at DP about this from about a week ago, just before the Google update distracted everybody.

 

Even Shawn got distracted. Fryman should intervene here !

 

I first noticed this on a client's site about three weeks ago. At first it switched back and forth, but has been stable for the last week.

They are #1 of 114,000,000 for one search and have the new format.
They are #7 of 479,000,000 for another search and have the old format.

 

They're definitely not using anything based on Google Sitemap.

I'm pretty sure they're taking the most "popular" SERP results that link from the indexed page.

But...it's old cached info from July/August.

 

I searched to try and find out how and why the first search result is sometimes listed with the additional page categories. This is an OLD post and I'm sure there are some better explanations as to how to get a listing like that...for example "vbulletin" (http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLL,GGLL:2008-14,GGLL:en&q=vbulletin).

Thanks,

Do you know this is a 2 years old thread ?

 

Search on "Google sitelinks". You'll find a ton of information, much of it wrong but some of it from Google.

 

Google Gives High Priority for Big company.


thanks

 

Uh, no... that's not (necessarily) what sitelinks are about.

 

Yes, that's why I made the comment that this is an OLD thread.

Thanks minstrel, I'll do a search for Google sitelinks.

 

too funny, like you knew the slightest thing about SEO

 

The fact that I'm right really eats you up, doesn't it?

 

I have noticed this as well, I think it's a great format.

 

it's called sitelinks : http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=47334
unfortunately google didn't mention in details how and what kind of algorithms they use to generate sitelinks.

 

No, even a blind chicken gets a corn once in a while
