michaellunsford Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Do a quick google search for "HP" or "Camino" or "Apple" of "chevrolet", you get the idea. Top line is generally the main company website, and it has a list of major subpages. How did they do it?

448191 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Top line is generally the main company website, and it has a list of major subpages. What? I also fail to see what this has to do with application design.

michaellunsford Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 thanks, redbull for the quick reply. I'll dig through the docs and see what I'm missing, but all of my sites generally do have google sitemaps. 448191, I figured that this forum was the closest fit, and thought that this would fall under "good coding practices." So, if it should have been under "misc" instead, that's fine. thanks again for the quick replies.

448191 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I still don't get that bit I quoted though. To nag on; coding practices is usually about code. Until we get a SEO forum Misc. is probably the best board for this type question. Don't mind me too much though, I'm a bit grumpy.

redbullmarky Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 i moved it to Misc as probably more likely to get a broader response. I must note that i'm not 100% sure on my previous answer but i'm almost sure i've read about it in the past and sitemaps were the answer.

448191 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Answer to what? Maybe I'm getting dense but I truly don't get that sentence. @Mark; worse, out of cigarettes and the everything is closed.

redbullmarky Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 well - as stated, type 'HP' into google. underneath the top link for hewlett packard, you'll see 4 links, including "software and driver downloads", etc. the question, i believe, is how to get those on your own site. as for the cigarettes - it's times like that you wish you didn't clean out the ashtray or smoke the nub-ends right down to the filter. in future, buy a packet of rizla and empty the leftover tobacco (minus the ash) from the nub-ends into the rizla, and bob's your uncle. you might feel a bit bad and embarrassed to do it, but it'll do the trick until the shops open again.

448191 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hmmm... Well I guess Google is playing it's localized search results tricks again because I see nothing of the sorts. Unless you mean the indented SERP items? I bet you do. The companies you mention don't have many of those on my (Dutch) SERPS. I'm not so sure Sitemaps have much to do with them either. I think it's nothing more than a way to group searchresults. Not saying Sitemaps don't help. Am saying sitemaps don't get you extra space on the SERPs. Sitemaps just give you some control over how your pages are indexed. But they would've gotten indexed anyway once you submit your url to Google. As for the butts, I think I'll just try and get some sleep instead. Tomorrow morning a croissant ou cigarette.

448191 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I guess I got a little confused by "top line". (Huh? What line you talking?) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/52877-google-results-that-show-major-pages/#findComment-261108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 did a google search for "google subpages" and it would seem that it's actually automatic, possibly using Google toolbar data to predict what pages in a site are gonna be the most visitied after first entering the site. i found this link first which seems to have more opinion: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum30/32228.htm and this one from matt cutts himself that pretty much confirms the opinion as fact: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/ui-fun-better-snippets/ Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/52877-google-results-that-show-major-pages/#findComment-261394 Share on other sites More sharing options...
448191 Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 It would seem we we're talking about two different things after all. The thing Matt posts I don't see. Well, sometimes, but not in these cases: It's because these consumer orientated companies all have Dutch departments and Google ranks those higher. I think what Matt shows is just Google's way of fitting MORE relevant search results on LESS space.
