something afoot at Google
Today I started noticing that Google was adding extra links when I searched for software. It seems to be trying to decipher what are the main sections of the site, and providing direct links.
Here are some examples:
It doesn't always work so well:
It works for:
photoshop
ultraedit
flickr
dreamweaver
transmit
And doesn't work for:
bbedit
microsoft word
Interestingly, it works for Unilever as well, so it may be working from proper nouns or a list of company and product names.
It's not working for most people, so I guess I've been cookied into a trial segment. It worked even after turning off personalised results and logging out of google for all services.
