Google Sites Tour

Some of our clients have noticed that the listing that Google has for their website in its results pages has a number of sub-links below its main entry on the results pages and have to come us to ask “What are these?”

These sub-links are in effect ‘short-cuts’ to pages deep within a website that Google has placed in its search results which allow users looking for your site, to link directly into the pages of your site without first going through the main entry page Google has listed for your site (more often than not this main entry page is your site’s Home Page).

Take a look at the screen-shot images above and below in this article, which illustrate the concept.

Google calls these sub-link short-cuts into the inner pages of your website, “Site links” and defines them as:

“Site links are additional links Google sometimes generates from site contents in order to help users navigate your site. Google generates these site links periodically from your site’s contents. Because we generate site links dynamically, this list can change from time to time.”

There’s no doubt that ‘Site links’ are a useful enhancement to a website’s listing in Google’s SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) once they’ve been allocated ‘Site links’ by Google. However because Site links are generated automatically by Google’s algorithm (the complex mathematical formulae that Google uses to rank websites in its results), as a website owner there is little control over what can and can’t be displayed the Site links listed for any particular website.

Furthermore, Google, like everything it does with respect to its search results: keeps it’s method of generating Sitelinks a secret in order to stop any one website dominating its search results. So it’s not as if you could drop them an email to ask them.

However Google does offer some background information on the subject of Site links and how website owners can to some degree, control their display.
Take a look at their own blog at:
http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2006/09/information-about-sitelinks.html
and within the Webmaster Help Centre on its own site:
http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=47334&topic=8523

Researching the subject on the web through various SEO blogs and forums it seems that the consensus of opinion by experienced web marketers is that in order for a site to be allocated Site links by Google, it generally has to satisfy a number of criteria, namely:

• The website is easily spider able with a well structured navigation

• The site gets a good ranking with high levels of natural search traffic

• The site has a high click through rate (CTR) from the search results page

• The site presents useful outbound links

• There are many inbound links from high quality, 3rd party websites

• The website age is several years old

Hi!
If you google it you will find lots of big companies that do the same and offer almost the same prices, is not hard to find them…
But in person opnion travel with them is a risk because they used to contact some one in area any got contract with them but they don't really know the local team so you can have some trouble with that!
I recommend to search for local agents of the destination you choose… is more safe and cheap, or find global portals that cares for destination like WHl.travel…
I travelled to Rio by them, is a cool concept of travel, they are a local agency in each destination they have, in rio is http://www.riodejaneiro-hotels.travel/
check them is good option i really recommend!
hugs!

thank you for this…

great tutorial

Natural landmarks: Geirangerfjord (a fjord), Prekestolen (a cool cliff) Nordkapp (as far north as you can get in norway)

Old architecture: Hansabryggen in Bergen

Museums in the honour of Amundsen (first to the south pole) Heyerdahl (popular archeologist) Munch (famous painter) Edvard Grieg (famous composer)

alos try to google Ibsen, Nobel Peace Price, Frognerparken and Nidarosdomen

Good luck with your project

yes it is free

It may involve help from many, not one satellites. Perhaps it may be possible 4-5 years later but not now.
Even the recorded version was a top army secret in the beginning a few years back. Now it has been permitted for marketing. But still you may find that it is not possible to visit a few sites in the recorded version too.

Try asking the various companies by telephone or email. That way you will cover more companies.

It is also best to have a cause to help as well as yourself.

eg. Cancer research, oxfam or other charities

Hope that helps.
