Google search results

[Scott]

This has been bugging me for a while, perhaps someone here knows what's it called and/or how it works (see attached).

I'm pretty sure that it's not something google does automatically, but I could be wrong :iunno:

That's . . . ummm . . . uhhh . . . :iunno:

Hopefully someone stops by soon and fills us in. :)

What were you searching for? :S

I have absolutely no idea how they work and judging by the Google results (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22extra%20links%22%20%22search%20results%22) for '"extra links" "search results"', no one else does either.

Here's a site with a good explanation of what it could be - http://www.seobook.com/archives/001625.shtml

Be sure to follow the link in that article, there's more there. (http://www.socialpatterns.com/search-engine-marketing/traffic-determines-google-ui-snippet-links/)

Thanks B33R, I that looks like it :)

And the answer is: it’s all algorithmic. The algorithms pick the sites where this could be helpful.
