Google and Breadcrumbs

Posted in » Google, Usability - by Ades

Implement breadcrumbs navigation in your website and Google will reflect it on its Search Results, instead of the URL path that it normally shows (see below).

And the links in the breadcrumbs actually point to different sections of the website, just like the navigation on actual website. That’s cool.

I didn’t know they did that. Looks very user friendly to me. So, if you can, try implementing breadcrumbs in your online projects.

It seems like goDaddy is expanding its supported payment gateways. Today I noticed that they are now supporting Chinese payment gateway - Alipay from Alibaba.com. Good for Google, good for people who use Alipay.

One of my favorite guest-bloggers on AdesBlog was Alan Johnson of TheRatingBlog.com. He has since sold his blog to a new owner. Recently he contacted me that the new owner Andrei, who has a vast collection domain names was selling off most of his domain names. He has some good domain names there, if you are interested check out the full list on his blog here.

Thanks Alan for your guest-posts!

Want to design a website purely in CSS, but don’t know how to code in CSS? Try Drawter then, with it you can just select the objects (H1, box, line etc) and draw, once you are done you can generate the CSS code. Can be a good jump-start for learning CSS.

Your 5 Predictions for 2010

TWENTY TEN is here! What this year awaits for the bloggers? Let’s try to forecast some of the things that might happen in this year. I go first:

1. Mobile Internet will be the key drive for the year for the Internet related industries, that means more smartphones, more iphones, more mobile and web applications will be launched. That means TechCrunch will be mostly talking about iPhone and Android apps the whole year :)
2. Android Market will grow many-folds and finally become the Apple’s rightly competitor.
3. Facebook usage will slow down. That means it will be as if you are back to pre-Facebook years. You will lose touch with most of your old friends again.
4. Twitter will be acquired (probably by Google).
5. More blogs will be shut down, be it personal or make money online.

OK readers, now please leave your 5 predictions for the year 2010 in the comments section. Let’s make it a long list. It will be interesting to read for everyone!

Please share this list with your friends and ask them to put in theirs.
