Google Using Clickable text in Search Result Snippets

Posted by Hiren Ponkia on September 10th, 2009 | Google

Few twitter folks noticed that Google is using One line Sitelinks as a clickable text in Search Snippet. These new One line Sitelinks are supporting links within the same page that anchor the searcher down to a portion of the page using Hash(#). They add “Jump to” words before clickable text link.

For example, a search for [conference website seo] in Google returns a Partnered Training Workshops result at the top. The result has the new One line Sitelinks within search snippet which leads you to #bruce-clay portion of that page.

Clickable text in Search Snippet

Another Example :

Google Using Clickable One line Sitelinks in Search Snippet

Words from Author:

Google tend to show One line Sitelinks since last couple of months, but the anchors feature within Search Snippet seems to be new from a Google Search Result Snippet.

Hi Hiren,

That was a good observation. Do you think it’s a adsense content?

Thanks,
Steve

I can’t believe I didn’t notice that myself. Thanks for the posting, this is very important to know as it is common belief that twitter offers no SEO value whatsoever.

That’s pretty interesting. Do you think the page needs to have on-page anchors in order for this to work or does Google insert the anchor code with the hash tags automatically into the link? -Jason

Like Jeff (above), I’m a bit embarrassed that I didn’t notice this myself.

I find that in my location, I see these types of links embedded in SERPs primarily for products, although I have seen them present elsewhere.

Thanks for the reality check.

When twitter was conceived, I do not think the inventor considered it a tool for seo sitelinks! Your post reminds me of a line from Woody Allen : My one regret in life is that I am not someone else.

I totally agree with the author sometimes google presents links that are not at all related to the search.

WOW, and how is it possible to obtain such links? It would be nice to get out of the line. Is that adwords or maybe a new paid option from google?

oh.. Nice find Hiren. I have never seen this type of Search results. Google started showing this climbable text recently or long time ago.

Still I am not getting why these sites getting climbable text in description? I mean what is so special with these sites?

If you know something more please share with us.
Thanx for this wonderful post.

I have also found out the same:
you can check here:

http://www.google.com/search?q=ecommerce+website+development+company&num=100&hl=en&lr=&start=0&sa=N

See the last fifth result(95) result for website “creativewebsols(dot)com” It shows jump to links in description.

Also found google’s description for the same:

Oooh, nice one! Google is definitely working on bettering and improving their returned results, and I think they are on the right track here. The question is how accurate the “intuition” of their algorithm is going to be, but for now I would like to see clickable text enabled, and them working out the algorithm as we move forward. We definitely haven’t seen the last of Google using clickable text in their search result snippets. Watch this space, good people!

I haven’t noticed this before, that google allows anchor links in websigte description, does this make any benefits? that generates backlinks from Google?

Google uses a number of methods to monitor visitor traffic from the search results on a website. The search engine programme collects site usage data by a variety of means including via Google Analytics, via cookies and via the Google toolbar.

Thanks

I think this is the future of guest blogging as well. Guest blogs will now get their own WordPress user, their own rel=author and they’ll carry their “weight” with them to your blog. So getting a guest post from me won’t help your on-site traffic as much as one from say Rand or Danny. It’s going to make top bloggers with high domain authority even more valuable when they do guest post.
