About a month ago, we reported Google was testing classic Sitelinks, i.e. one line Sitelinks. Well, now it seems like we can reproduce the single line Sitelinks.
A Google Webmasters Help thread shows how two different queries return different types of Sitelinks for the same site.
A search for cashforgold returns the standard Sitelinks:
A search for cash4gold returns the classic Sitelinks:
Both are the same site, but showing only half the number of Sitelinks shown on the current Sitelinks format. Plus, the Sitelinks are shown on a single line, as opposed to four lines in two columns.
I wonder if Google will be going back to the classic user interface for Sitelinks?
Forum discussion at Google Webmasters Help.
Update: Dennis Dornon commented pointing to a blog post that shows for a search on internet marketing blog on Google returns classic Sitelinks with numbers. Here is a screen capture:
The thing is, Sitelinks are normally made up anchor text of the links and the numbers might just reflect that and nothing more.
