    hi everybody

    every time we do search on google we get so many pages related to the keyword, each page is in blue color and is connected with its direct link (which is in green color), but the thing is that sometimes I find some web pages extended by another gray website!. Another thing is that some other pages get stars under their direct link!

    so I wondered on what base that google work on to show these pages this way; I mean why these pages are different like this (some have only green direct link, others have extended by gray website, and another have stars ranking and reviews)

    what does this really mean?

    thank you very much

    Hello,

    All different colored text have their own meaning...
    They are as follows according to the google search..

    Blue:- Hyperlink text connected to respective websites.
    Green:- URL of search result and if you want then click arrow to make cache and also search similar result.
    Gray:- Provides website's history when it started and many things just click down arrow beside the gray colored texts.

    Thank you guys for your feedback, I've found the answer; the research relieved that the gray color does NOT stand for (previously stated Nor the website's history ), but it does mean that these websites are NOTABLE websites (very important and official as I guess)
    thank you again.
