Check your Google site links

I was just on the phone to my colleague Bob O’Brien from Seattle, who manages the search strategy for windows.microsoft.com.  We noticed that a recently published page had been assigned ‘site links’ by Google, however they were NOT particularly useful..

The site links titles were all cut off, which removed essential product information about each link.  Also, the 4 links were useless without the context of the product selection the page offers…

Google Webmaster tools provides an interface to see which content on the site has site links, and ‘block’ them.  Bob logged in, made the changes and sent me a screen shot for my blog Smile

Google was pretty quick to remove the links…
