GMail for Business

Thursday, September 20th, 2007

For the past few months we have been using the new service. This provides us with GMail for our business. So far it has worked great. The spam blocking works great and the portability was our main reason for switching from a POP server.

In case we ever decide to switch back to our old POP e-mail system all current e-mails are being backed up using a POP main reader that connects to the business GMail accounts to make backups of the e-mails on the server.

Google Sitelinks (sub-links under main listing)

Friday, September 8th, 2006

For months I have been wondering about the listings that some sites have been able to get where the main listing in Google has a list of links under it to interior pages.  It seems like an invaluable addition to the free organic listing these sites already have.  Today, I found out more information about the Google Sitelinks.

Google uses an automated algorithm to determine the links for the main interior pages and to decide if the site is authorative enough to deserve these special listings.  So far it seems like only the top 1-2 listings on highly competitive phrases get these type of listings.

Now we know that it is automated and depends on site layout and popularity.  I guess that’s a start.
