Google Inside

Google SiteLinks were announced just last month — well, not really announced, but they were released. I think they’re annoying and here’s why.

Google SiteLinks get in the way. I have never used the SiteLinks. They get in the way because they don’t actually provide any useful data.

When I’m going to do a search, I know what I’m looking for. I already know exactly what I’m doing to find and how I’m going to find it. Google SiteLinks are not always relevant and useful, so like I’ve said, I’ve never used them.

It takes up more space. It’s not relevant* to my search, and it’s just not very useful.

But let’s take a look at Yahoo! Search for that same query.

So why do I think Yahoo! Search is better right now? It provides me the results. Clear, simple, and just gives me the results.

Google has slowly started integrating in Google images results within web results and other various “features.” Hey Google, if I wanted to do an image search, I would!

Google has some re-thinking to do about options and and being able to select how you search.
