How to get bullet snippets SERPs
-
http://insidesearch.blogspot.com/2011/08/new-snippets-for-list-pages.html
I read this post and have been seeing a lot of results with this feature, but can't figure out exactly why some results get them and others dont.
of the results I've seen, many have information in lists or tables (as the article suggests), but some simply have their information listed in separate divs.
Does anyone have any further insight on this? The above article is the only one I can find on the subject.

It seems as though you're referring to sitelinks. I'm referring to one link with bullet points, all from the same page.

This is a tough question because (everyone, feel free to correct me here if I'm wrong) Google does not directlly tell us how to influence those links. However, I have observed the following patterns.
#1 Branded searches tend to lead to "bulleted snippets"
#2 From what I remember, their patent talked (vaguely) about how users can influence those links. The more people visit a page on your website the more likely it is for that page to show up in serps. You can influence this by leading people to the pages you want displayed in serps. UI and Site Navigation can play heavily into influencing those serps.
#3 Google will display internal pages, or bulleted snippets, if it thinks those pages are relevant to a users search. If you search for my brand, you will see pages that tell a searcher everything they need to know about Nerds On Call.
#4 Google will only display these internal pages for the first result.
Here is a link to that patent. http://bit.ly/nRBa8L

Strange Google SERP Layout: Anyone?
I haven't been able to repeat this, but I just saw a strange Google SERP layout. The screenshot is attached below. Has anyone else seen something like this? I kind of rubbed my eyes and wondered 'if it was kicking in'. ca2JqaP

New Google SERPs page title lengths, 60 characters?
It seems that the new Google SERPs have a shorter page title character length? From what I can gather they are 60 characters in length. Does this mean we all need to now optimise our page titles to 60 characters? Has anyone else noticed this and made any changes to page title lengths?

Effectiveness of a Guest Blog if it is not getting you any traffic
Hi, I have been paying adequate attention to Guest Blogging for the past 4-5 months. I have posted good quality articles on some decently ranked websites. Of late I managed to get a guest post on a website with a page rank of 4. But I didn't get any referral traffic from it. My concern was will the Guest Blog also contribute to my Organic Search ? Will google give me any points if my links on the Guest Blog are not generating any traffic ? I was under the impression that Guest Blogs will work in your favour and will help in improving your search traffic only if you have visitors from that particular page. Any comments on this ? Eric

Which website? It's hard to get enough resources to develop both
I started my Whitby cottage website for years ago www.endeavourcottages.co.uk not knowing anything about SEO, but I now have very good rankings for the keywords on Google. I'm ranking quite well for Whitby holiday cottages on Google and I now list to other cottages in the area for my friends. The point is that I'm now starting a small letting agency and hoping to expand it now so I bought the domain http://www.whitby-holiday-cottages.co.uk/ and set up a WordPress site but it's not ranking are getting anywhere near the same amount of traffic. This domain name and website structure would be much more applicable now that there are more than one cottage to let. Whenever I get some free time I spend it doing SEO on my first website to improve its rankings and so which is the best strategy from here on. One try and develop the new cottages letting website at the expense of my main website, or forget about the new website are together and continue with my first website which was designed initially for just one cottage. It's hard to have enough resources to get both websites ranking high. Thank you very useful tips Alan Davidson

Home page replaced by subpage in google SERP (good or bad)
SInce Panda, We have seen our home page drop from #2 in google.ie serp to page 3 but it has been replaced in the same position @#2 by our relevent sub page for the keyword that we ranked#2 for. Is this a good or bad thing from and seo point of view and is it better to have deep pages show in serp rather than the homepage of a site and what is the best line of action from here in relation to seo. Is it best to work on subpage or home page for that keyword and should link building for that phrase be directed towards the subpage or the homepage as the subpage is obviously more relevent in googles eyes for the search term. It is clear that all areas of the site should be looked at in relation to link building and deep links etc but now that google is obviously looking at relevancy very closely should all campaigns be sectioned into relevent content managed sections and the site likewise and treated on an individual basis. Any help that you may have would be very welcome. Paul
