Hey everyone. How are you doing today?
Get ready for some truly fantastic news that just dropped from Google, and it's going to make our blog an even more incredible place to hang out and learn. If you're anything like me, you love digging into topics, getting those "aha!" moments, and sometimes, you want to know more about a specific point I've made. Well, Google just gave us a new tool to do exactly that, right here on the blog.
Google has rolled out a brand-new beta feature called "Google Search links" for Blogger, and I'm already buzzing about the possibilities. I even used it for this post. This isn't just a cool gadget; it's a way to create a more engaging, interactive, and genuinely helpful reading experience for all of you.
So, What Are These New Google Search Links?
It's actually pretty clever and super easy on my end (which means more time for me to write awesome content for you). Here's the gist:
Based on the content of my blog posts, Blogger will now automatically identify keywords and phrases within my writing. When you're reading, these identified terms will become clickable links. And where do they lead? Straight to relevant Google Search results.
Think of it this way:
- I write a post about, say, "digital marketing strategies."
- Google's tech might pick up on phrases like "SEO optimization," "content marketing," or "social media trends."
- If you're reading and think, "Hmm, I'd like a quick overview of 'SEO optimization'," you can simply click that phrase.
- Voila! A Google Search page opens with results for "SEO optimization," letting you explore further without ever leaving the flow of the blog post.
It's like having an intelligent research assistant built right into the blog.
Why I'm So Excited About This (And Why You Should Be Too)
This isn't just about bells and whistles; it's about genuinely enhancing your reading experience and making our blog even more valuable.
- Deeper Dives, Instantly: You no longer have to copy a term, open a new tab, and paste it into Google if you want more info. It's one click, and you're there. This means you can easily expand on any concept that piques your interest.
- No Interruption to Your Flow: The beauty is that it's optional. If you're happy just reading my article, great! But if a specific keyword sparks your curiosity, the information is just a click away, seamlessly integrated.
- Better Understanding: This feature helps you grasp complex topics more thoroughly by giving you immediate access to supplementary information.
- Fresh & Engaging Content: For me as a creator, it means I'm offering you a dynamic, modern reading experience that stands out. Google is literally helping make my content more helpful and interactive!
Right now, these Google Search links are a "beta feature," meaning they're new and being refined. I'll be actively exploring them in my Blogger Compose View. I'll be looking for a special 'Pencil' icon on the top-right of the page to manage these new links.
You'll start seeing these clickable phrases appearing in my upcoming posts (and maybe even some older ones as I update them!). Keep an eye out for them – they'll be subtle but incredibly useful.
I'm committed to making this blog the best resource it can be for you, and this new Google feature is a fantastic step in that direction. I can't wait to hear what you think as you start interacting with these new search links!
Happy reading, and happy exploring.
No meu blog já consigo ver o lápis mas ainda não me aprofundei no assunto, Melody bjs.
ReplyDeleteYou should try it; I think it is a brilliant tool
DeleteHi Melody! I got a notice when I was writing my last post, but didn't know what it was. Thanks for this illustrated and well articulated explanation. I went back and applied it on my last post, reposted, and it works!
ReplyDeleteI read your blog post yesterday and noticed that you used it, which is excellent. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
DeleteHello
ReplyDeleteI have to study these tools because I don't know how to use them.
Thanks for the tips.
I appreciate your visits and your generous comments on my blog.
Thank you.
Kisses.

You are welcome.
DeleteI did notice that last night when I was doing my post but had no idea what it meant, so I opted out, not that I have anything that exciting that I do on my blog :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes it’s best to wait until we understand what something means before getting involved. Your blog is fabulous.
DeleteVery interesting innovation. I shall look out for it.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
DeleteThank you for this Melody, for explaining it so clearly. Much appreciated!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
DeleteWłaśnie dzisiaj zauważyłam tę nową funkcję. Świetnie!
ReplyDeleteHave you tired it?
DeleteGracias por la indicación te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
Delete舊有的也已經很好,我經常都搜尋到自己的網誌.
ReplyDeleteI never knew of an old one.
DeleteReally interesting, Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
DeleteYou are not just very pretty dear Melody but really smart because you are the new generation ☺️
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed learning about new facility that google offers. To be honest in past google have sent some adds but I couldn’t grasp what to do about them.
Thank you, I feel inspired and in future I will try to dive into this more and see what can be helpful for better blogging.
Blessings 🙏♥️
Thank you so much, that’s very kind of you to say. I’m really glad you enjoyed learning about it. It’s wonderful how technology keeps opening new doors for creativity. I’m sure you’ll make great use of those tools for your blogging. It’s always inspiring to see how you keep learning and growing. Blessings to you as well.
DeleteA mi no me sale el símbolo del lápiz si el de Google. Tendré que estar atento por si lo veo.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
I’m sure once you spot the pencil symbol, it’ll all make sense. You’ve got a good eye for details, so you’ll notice it soon enough.
DeleteI've seen this new tool, but I don't dare use it yet.
ReplyDeleteYou can try it out.
DeleteThanks for explaining the advantages. I really didn't get it and have not been using it. I'll pay attention on may next post and add it. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome.
DeleteI am personally not excited about this feature for my own blog and hope that it will remain optional. If there is a link in a post, I want to know that it was chosen mindfully by the person who wrote the post rather than by Google, who may want to direct traffic one way or another. I appreciate that you are excited about this feature for your own blog - and since many of your posts are research intensive, that is totally understandable. That being said, I really do hope it will be an optional feature, because I do not want a bunch of links added to my posts that I did not authorize and do not want. I will have to research this feature more in the next little while, because it is something I am opposed to for my own blog. It seems like an overreach of power that takes away choice from bloggers.
ReplyDeleteI completely understand your concerns. Maintaining control over your own content is fundamental. It is an optional feature. You can choose to use it or not; it's all your choice, dear. I did not use it for my last post because I didn't need to, but it is an option, so no worries.
DeleteQue interessante! Já tinha visto esse lápis em alguns dos meus blogues e não tinha percebido para que era. Grata pelas dicas.
