Google Sublistings For ShoeMoney.com

by Jeremy Schoemaker on February 9, 2007 · 27 comments

I have seen these on my SEO’d out large scale sites with proper css and line item menus but I was pretty surprised when I someone emailed me this today:

Google Sublisting

Anyone know what causes this? I thought it was high traffic mixed with easy navigation but this blog is tables and not so much traffic. Anyway its pretty cool none the less.

I believe Google will ‘expand’ your listing like this if you are deemed extremely relevant to the search query. And the links it decides to show are based on traffic data collected by Google.

I figured you needed decent traffic to get a listing like this. This site does have a considerable amount of users with the Google Toolbar installed, perhaps that skews the numbers for Google.

It is being addressed through the proper channels. Just takes time.

Gotcha.. thats probably why aaron wall has the same listing for “seobook” (is that new?) but not for “aaron wall”

Shoe its your search volume mixed with authority. ShoeMoney evidently is searched enough to pass the threshold and obviously you are the authority especially now that you have the registered trademark

Yep, “shoemoney” has become popular enough to warrent it’s own nitch and authority site, in Google’s eyes. Congrats.

Shoe, yeah it means that google considers your site an ‘authority’ for the search term ‘shoemoney’. i.e. http://www.shoemoney.com is the most relevant of all sites on the internet for the search term ‘shoemoney’.

Congrats!

I’m sure you’re aware of this, but 3/4 of those pages are disallowed by your new robots.txt. It will be interesting to see if Google removes this distinction or just puts other pages up there instead.

the sub listings are based on traffic volume. a seasonal niche I rank for in google loses its sub listings during the off season, believe it or not.

I just got secondary results for one of my sites and it has lead to a serious increase in traffic.

What kind of increase are you seeing with this development? It must be substantial, although I suppose anyone searching for shoemoney was clicking on your listing anyway :D (except maybe the rich clown opps i mean jerk)

I’ve always wanted to conduct an experiment on this… I s’pose that’s why I’m sitting on extendedlisting.com

Way to go, I always wondered how to get a listing like that.

Keep up the great work on the radio show.

That’s awesome, I was wondering what caused this the other day also. I assumed it was super high traffic.
