Thanks for that. I wasn't even aware they existed until I read that article this evening.

Good find Dotty.
Be interesting to see how they identify the 'bread crumbs'.

...Be interesting to see how they identify the 'bread crumbs'...
That's what I am wondering.
In particular what do they do if they find more than one 'trail' - and would there be any 'duplicate content' issues for example.
For instance one of our pages could have any one of these [dynamically generated] bread crumb trails depending on the route you have take to the page:
home > Strada (http://www.visithorsham.co.uk/Business/Strada.aspx)
home > Horsham Town Centre > Red Zone > Strada
home > Horsham Town Centre > Red Zone > East Street > Strada
home > Eating and Drinking > Restaurants
home > Eating and Drinking > Bars Pubs and Restaurants > Strada
At many times throughout the year there will be other paths to the page (promotion pages etc.)

Dotty

Hi there,
My listings seem to now have breadcrumbs but no idea whether people find them useful! If you search on made to measure bookcase, my result should be on page 1 and you can see that as well as just clicking on the link, there is an option to go to the home page or to bookcases.

Not yet but I'm loving the real time search results - Twitter is great for us at this time of year - Christmas - we get a lot of visitors through SERPs
