I’m working on a project to post here tonight or tomorrow, and this project involved Googling the phrase united states senate. (Try it, it’s fun! OK, not that much.) As you might expect, here’s the top result:
Notice anything? How about the Google Sitelinks (if you wanted to know what those are called) above the search form? Notice which two “senators” are listed? That’s right: the two senators who left the greatest deliberative body in the blah blah blah voluntarily to take better jobs almost a month and a half ago.
What’s going on here? Well, Google is kind of a black box, so my guess is as good as anyone’s (although probably less than this guy’s) but I’d wager their no longer-extant pages got much more traffic in the days leading up to their assumption of offices in the executive branch — and that nobody else’s has yet garnered enough traffic to supersede them. Just a theory though. If anybody has a chance, maybe it will be Senator almost-elect Franken.
Sielinks in google seem to be totally random. Sitelinks on ym site are given to some of the lesser used pages. Still its noce to have them as it shows google is taking your site seriously
