Quote:Received an email alert from Classified Intelligence this weekend. Looks like GoogleBase is now delivering their users to jump pages from the results page instead of to the listing on the source site. This Google hosted/created jump page displays all the attribute information and it's striking how much this looks like a listing.

It will be interesting to see how this is received by the folks that provide GoogleBase with a feed.

I thought those listing pages always existed...or did they just exist for people (like me) who didn't link their item to another site Hello

?

Yup ... they existed, but they hadn't been displayed for me before since I was re-directing them. I kind of find this change to be interesting. It seems to put items on a more level playing field, among other possible things to come.

I'm glad they stopped the automatic redirect. I think it was a necessary first step if they want to develop a classifieds venue.
