The last couple of weeks have been extremely busy with coaching two soccer teams and what seems to have been an unusually high numbers of parties. I’ve been eating until sick and not exercising. It hasn’t been pretty. I’m going to kick start things (yet again) on Monday with a new plan that I believe is going to make a real difference for me. In the meanwhile, I’m going to crank out a few posts I’ve been meaning to write about.
I’m not sure when it happened but Google finally looked down on this humble blog and setup some sitelinks for me. See the picture to the left, or see it live in the search results for john is fit.
Now the benefits of having sitelinks are pretty minimal for a blog like mine. Do a search for apple to see how they might be more useful, for example.
That doesn’t mean I’m not going to try to optimize them, however. According to Google these links are created automatically but they have an interface in their webmaster tools that allows you to block certain links from showing. For example, I submitted a block on the Chow Chow Corgie Puppy sitelink because it doesn’t fit with the theme of my blog (not to mention we now think she is a Shiba Inu!). The link still shows but I suspect it will be off soon.
Part of the reason why I blog is that I am fascinated with new things like this. It’s fun, although not rewarding in any tangible way, to see this sort of “recognition.”
Do a search for your blog or any search result where you are #1 - do you have Google sitelinks?
