| Re: "Showing more results from a domain" - please set upper limit. | Chibcha | 8/20/10 6:40 PM | Hi You are a little in the wrong place but doubt you will be on your own, so will move this to chit chat. That's just so everyone can perhaps stick too the same post, not a demotion. Doubt Google would wish to show so many results unless there was a |
| Re: "Showing more results from a domain" - please set upper limit. | speedbunny | 8/20/10 7:13 PM | Thank you Chibcha... I deliberately didn't give site details - wouldn't be right for me to be seen whining (I do try to keep things professional!)... but I don't mind posting a screenshot. You'll see my website position and my competitor highlighte |
| Re: "Showing more results from a domain" - please set upper limit. | speedbunny | 8/20/10 7:16 PM | Hmm don't see the screenshot - this is the URL for the screenshot: http://bit.ly/bOB5l6 to add insult to injury, when I've tried to run a Google Adwords campaign myself, they always say my site isn't relevant to the keywords shown in the screenshot |
| Re: "Showing more results from a domain" - please set upper limit. | squibble | 8/21/10 12:25 AM | You think people putting owners direct into the search are looking for you ? |
| Re: "Showing more results from a domain" - please set upper limit. | speedbunny | 8/21/10 3:21 AM | I would assume so, squibble - it's the section we used to advertise our properties abroad in Exchange & Mart for years prior to the internet, and a popular keyword for anyone who is looking to rent from an owner in a holiday location. (our family hav |
| Re: "Showing more results from a domain" - please set upper limit. | squibble | 8/21/10 3:26 AM | I might think not. You registered your domain some years after the brand search and doubt that users would actively seek a site with little/no value content of originality. |
| Re: "Showing more results from a domain" - please set upper limit. | Pelagic | 8/21/10 3:27 AM | This is an experiemental thing by Google, to boost relevancy for brand names. |
| Re: "Showing more results from a domain" - please set upper limit. | squibble | 8/21/10 3:34 AM | I submit it is a good move if it stops sites from capitalizing for others brands without good reason. Time to build some relevancy of one's own.. Showing more results from a domain http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2010/08/showing-more-resu |
| Re: "Showing more results from a domain" - please set upper limit. | speedbunny | 8/21/10 3:35 AM | Squibble, the term is not a brand - neither of us were able to register the trade mark with the Intellectual Property Office in the UK as they class it as a generic term. The site has over 100 destination guides that I wrote myself, so there is a l |
| Re: "Showing more results from a domain" - please set upper limit. | Pelagic | 8/21/10 3:36 AM | Yes good move, this is a good example, why. That site has no contact details whatsoever ! |
| Re: "Showing more results from a domain" - please set upper limit. | speedbunny | 8/21/10 3:45 AM | The contact details are clearly displayed on the website - and there's a Live Help service Mon-Fri 9am-5pm.... |
| Re: "Showing more results from a domain" - please set upper limit. | squibble | 8/21/10 3:46 AM | Trademark or not, it is a branded search. If you have 100 unique 'destination guides' then you will be found by your valuable content as I doubt that users search 'owners direct' to read them. |

| Re: "Showing more results from a domain" - please set upper limit. | speedbunny | 8/21/10 7:04 AM | Hi Pelagic - as I said, my brother DIED and I inherited the websites. Therefore, the websites have the same affiliate IDs. I came here for help, not to argue with people. If this is the kind of community Google run, I want no part in it. |
| Re: "Showing more results from a domain" - please set upper limit. | JohnMu | 8/21/10 8:39 AM | Guys, be polite please. That's not the way to greet someone new. Speedbunny, thanks for posting!

| Re: "Showing more results from a domain" - please set upper limit. | speedbunny | 8/21/10 9:23 AM | thank you John... I suppose maybe I just see things differently to most users - I always thought Sitelinks were the perfect answer, with 'show more results from this website'. And although I definitely I think there should be more than one company ' |
| Re: "Showing more results from a domain" - please set upper limit. | Pelagic | 8/21/10 9:32 AM | Speedbunny, full apology from me for anything I said that may have caused you any upset relating to your brothers death.

| Re: "Showing more results from a domain" - please set upper limit. | speedbunny | 8/21/10 9:57 AM | Just to make you feel bad, I cried for two hours over what you wrote - I'm not sure you realise how upsetting it is to have your identity and your intentions questioned without any regard for the circumstances surrounding them. But apology accepted. |
