How do they do it? (details of site in google)
Posted by Ignoramus27983 on March 10th, 2006

I typed "slackware" in google search box. In the results, there were
many extra entries for slackware.org site, like this:

The Slackware Linux Project
The original Linux distribution, geared towards power and
stability. FAQ, support, news, mailing lists, downloads, and links.
www.slackware.com/ - 15k - Cached - Similar pages
Get Slack - SLP testing zone
Installation Help - Frequently Asked Questions
More results from www.slackware.com ยป


how do they do it? I would like to do the same -- to have a few extra
things next to my domain in google searches.

I've seen this before as well and it appears to be intermittent and only
with those holding the #1 position. Maybe Google's just experimenting like
always?

Try 'debian'. I suspect that Google are hand-tweaking these (they use
Debian/Ubuntu in-house). They assume that the surfer wishes to download the
distribution or get some information about it, so the facet changes.

I would assume these are exceptions since, much like you, I have never come
across that before. Think of it as a 'special case', as in searches for
stock symbols which bring up charts, quotes,and zeitgeist.

Best wishes,

Roy

Interestingly, I had previously seen it here:
http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=nyc+photos&meta=

Notice that it's Canadian Google Search. I'd come across something like
also for another subject though I just can't remember what it was.
Also I tried to replicate the same results on different datacenter but got
tired after 15 or so. :-)

Blimey. A girl's tush. Never thought Google's perceived NYC in this way, but
I won't complain.



You can automatire some cross-datacentre checks using the following tool
(which you probably know about already):

This is done my Google itself.
You cannot control it.
I have these extra entries too. I don't know why.
Maybe because im No 1 for years and have 76000 pages listed.
The additional links are changing from day to day.

much time with 'em since I'd get obsessive over it. 'but good to have in my
