How to update Sitelinks
Monday, 22 October 2007
Google Webmaster Central has introduced a new feature enabling us to manage which URLs are used as sitelinks. Currently you can only exclude URLs, but at least it is a start of some control over this great feature. The new tool "..lets you view potential sitelinks for your site and block the ones you don't want to appear in Google search results....Once you block a page, it won't appear as a sitelink for 90 days unless you choose to unblock it sooner. It may take a week or so to remove a page from your sitelinks" says Liza Ma.
This is an interesting new feature! Always curious to try out something new I've blocked three of our site links. Two which I'm not too fussed about showing (also reason given) and a third because the title should read differently. Now it's somewhat a mystery to me how blocking it would help, but it seems to be indicated from the drop down list in that area. How will this work exactly; when blocked I can then ask it to be unblocked and it should come back with the correct title?
I'm also keeping track of how long it takes for the update to filter through for some others that are interested in this.
