Google Celebrating Jorge Luis Borges 112th Birthday - Google Logo

Google Celebrating 112th Birthday of Jorge Luis Borges as on 24th August, 2011 as Google Doodle Logo at their home page.

Jorge Luis Borges was born in an educated middle-class family in August 1899. Borges's 1929 book Cuaderno San Martín includes the poem "Isidoro Acevedo," commemorating his grandfather, Isidoro de Acevedo Laprida, a soldier of the Buenos Aires Army. A descendant of the Argentine lawyer and politician Francisco Narciso de Laprida, Acevedo fought in the battles of Cepeda in 1859, Pavón in 1861, and Los Corrales in 1880. Isidoro de Acevedo Laprida died of pulmonary congestion in the house where his grandson Jorge Luis Borges was born. Borges grew up hearing about the faded family glory. On the other side, Borges's father, Jorge Guillermo Borges Haslam, was part Spanish, part Portuguese, and half English, also the son of a colonel. Borges Haslam, whose mother was English, grew up speaking English at home, and took his own family frequently to Europe. England and English pervaded the family home.

Google Sitelinks Update - New Google Interface for WebSite Sitelinks at Google

It's morning and I guess not many of power Google user's has noticed that Google rolled out a new Sitelink features which I just now observed. Also I am not sure does it being rolled out to all Google data-center's or as always Google trying out at few and later make it universal. To confirm this new Google Sitelink's feature I checked with Official Google Blog & Official Google Webmaster Central Blog, but there's no news yet in this regard. (Update 0n 08/16/2011: Official Google Blog: The evolution of sitelinks: expanded and improved)

Well you must have noticed earlier for Sitelinks Google only show's few important internal webpages (also known as Sitelinks) at organic SERP's if a user search for any Domain at Google(www.afzalkhan.org) name with or without domain extension (Afzalkhan.org or Simply Domain Name as AfzalKhan) as shown at image-1(Espn.com Google Sitelinks) with Old Sitelinks pattern.

What's New now with Google Sitelinks

Google is now showing website's sitelinks with Title (H1 tag in some cases), meta description and the landing page URL as shown in image-2 (Afzalkhan.org Google Sitelinks) which were missing at the old sitelinks preview (Google used to show only Anchor Text hyperlinked)

Afzalkhan.org Google sitelinks - New Preview

What will its affect on Organic Traffic? - While it's still early to judge its impact but I noticed significant increase in Google traffic for my site since yesterday, the increase in Google Organic traffic is almost 20-30% comparing my daily blog traffic. It's a welcome change from my site being a SEO along with many other changes due from Google including infinite scrolling at SERP's for organic searches too like Google Image Searches. I've read on many forum's Google is experimenting & testing out loads of new feature's since after launching Google +1 which they will merge all together to offer a better user experience.

Finger's crossed expecting few more changes in next coming days which might affect Search Engine Optimization strategies, website organic rankings & traffic.

Search Out Loud with Voice Search



About Google Voice Search
Google Voice Search is a tool from Google Labs that allowed someone to use their phone to make a Google query. After the user called (650) 623-6706, the number of Google Voice's search system, they would wait for the words Say your Search Keywords and then say the keywords. Next, they would either wait to have the page updated, or click on a link to bring up the search page the user requested. At the moment, both the demo of this service and the page have been shut down. Since the introduction of the service, products from Google, such as GOOG-411, Google Maps and Google Mobile App, have been developed to use speech recognition technology in various ways!

Along with Voice Search you can also do a Search by Image at Google.com
