Google’s a Site link Thief

Oct 20, 2008 Marketing, SEO

Well I can’t really call them a thief, it’s their program after all. But over this past weekend I noticed several of my sites and friend sites no longer had Google Site Links attached. Which sucks, I was really growing a custom to seeing these extra links within the search results. I also thought they brought in a great deal of extra traffic.

If you’re unfamiliar with Google Site Links, these are the sub category links (usually 8 links) that are located underneath your website’s URL within a search results.

Google generates these site links dynamically, so this list can change from time to time. But they are great attention grabbers, and help increase traffic to your sites sub pages.

Well adios Google site links it was nice while it lasted.
Lesson learned never rely or grow a custom to any free 3rd party service, it’ll bite you in the ass
