Google Operators move to Sitemaps
Google Operators move to Sitemaps, well not yet but i think it’s about to happen.
I have had a few IM’s on this, so I thought I’d have a quick look and here is my take on it..
Ok for people that haven’t got a clue what a Google operator is :
search for your domain name : www.davidnaylor.co.uk hmmm that’s bust .. lol ok try www.davidnaylor.co.uk
Ok the :
- Show Google’s cache of www.davidnaylor.co.uk
- Find web pages that are similar to www.davidnaylor.co.uk
- Find web pages that link to www.davidnaylor.co.uk
- Find web pages from the site www.davidnaylor.co.uk
- Find web pages that contain the term “www.davidnaylor.co.uk”
these are Operators.
anyway, site: and link: have been playing up. Ok here is my Best GUESS
Sitemaps will soon be the only way to get site: and link: information, which sucks but makes sense. Why should Google tell you how many people link to MY site !! or how many pages i have indexed.
time will tell but i think soon ,.. Or maybe it’s the final part of the new google data structure

The whole way the handle the navigational queries has changed. Search for http://www.domain.com and they show results as if you searched for “www.domain.com”.
Can you fit http://www.bignamebrand.com into your title?

http://www.googleorganic.comNice post dave,
which sucks but makes sense why should google tell you how many people link to MY site !!
Maybe I am misunderstanding that, but since day 1 of this Webmaster Central I can easily plug a competitors site and track all of the operators in one easy place! Thanks Google its saving me time by having a list of all my competition with the click of a mouse button or two.

Makes sense to me, some day you will have to log into Google, Yahoo and maybe even MSN to find data, this way they can ID you as either a spammer, a kind of spammer or a trusted network matrix contributor…er or something like that!
