Because many companies that claim to do SEO actually are having another larger SEO firm do the work or are outsourcing it.  If they are a firm that is willing to white-label their services then they are more likely to be the actual firm doing the work... because no firm wants to white label if they are doing it... plus the price would be marked up twice! ...its just too difficult. Just a little trick.

]]> Comment on Google Site Link Optimization by jtree http://seoboise.com/2011/google-site-link-optimization/#comment-331 jtree Thu, 01 Sep 2011 21:11:18 +0000 http://seoboise.com/?p=557#comment-331 You are correct in your assumption in regard to Site Links not displaying w/ general search terms. Google is attempting to display Site Links only for company 'branded' search terms. Of course, it gets a little mucky when some companies have names similar to general keyphrases (seoboise.com for example is very hard to trigger Site Links for), and Google doesn't always properly detect a branded search as well. Nonetheless, considering all of the real estate Site Links hog up it, they are not to be ignored! Meta tags have always been important, IMHO. Even though Google does not look for keyphrases within the descriptions tag, they still may use the Meta Description contents as a SERP result listing - or Site Link. And, let's not forget that other search engines still do make use of Meta Tags. Something else I should have mentioned in the post above... Site Links that result from a branded search are different from Site Links that result from a general search (for keyphrases). Case in point, <a href="http://www.google.com/search?&q=idaho+hot+springs" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">search for Idaho Hot Springs</a>, take a look at the first result and differently formatted Site Links... these ones do not contain descriptive test, and thus cannot yet be optimized unlike branded search Site Links. However, you can remove general term Site Links through the <a href="https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Google Webmaster Tools interface</a>. Thank you for your insightful comment! You are correct in your assumption in regard to Site Links not displaying w/ general search terms.

Do you find they show more frequently when the search term is the specific name of the company/domain? I've found they don't appear usually for more general keyword searches...? Once again, this is another sign that meta-tags do still matter; having them optimized is an important part of the websites design. Keep providing great SEO info and tips - we'll keep reading them!
