Google Related Links

[Michael Scott]

Hey,

I don't know if I'm right or wrong here. But it seems to me this is the first time that a google service does not link directly back to google? This may be because they have not finalised the feel of the product, and merely overlooked the link. But they're google. They know all about sharing the link love, and it seems to me that they're finally providing a pure service. (In saying that the text does stand out... Too much almost.

The related searches links all drive traffic back to Google, plus they pick up the bonus of catching the click through redirection. Web page links don't link back to them, but they still see the redirection. I agree that it's odd the Powered by Google text isn't a link. Heck, some people are going to wonder how to get the box themselves and not have a clue. Somehow, I think that will change.
