Google Subscribed Links

Google search has a number of special features built in to the search results pages, like currency conversion, movie showtimes, and stock quotes. Subscribed Links offer a way for you to add information from additional sources or services to your Google search results. When you search using queries that match your Subscribed Link, information from the provider will appear in your search results.

Subscribed Links has several new features:

* Management from the Google Preferences page
* New look and feel in the search results
* Improved directory content

Using Subscribed Links, you can add information created by providers you trust to your Google search results pages. Whenever you search on Google in an area of their expertise, you'll see a custom result from those providers in your search results. To view a list of available Subscribed Links with example queries, visit the Subscribed Links directory.

You can create a Subscribed Link in one of three ways:

Design a Basic Subscribed Link We guide you step by step in creating a simple Subscribed Link. This is the easiest option but allows the least flexibility; it's a good way to start learning about what Subscribed Links can do. Once you're comfortable, we suggest you try uploading a file or an RSS feed instead to create something more powerful.

Upload a feed file Upload a data file from your local disk to our servers. The file can be in any of the formats we support: XML, RSS, or TSV. If you have a small amount of Subscribed Link data that is updated infrequently, this may be your best option.

Submit the URL of a feed file Tell us the location of a file hosted on a website that contains your data feed in XML, RSS, or TSV format. We will periodically recrawl this file so that if you have frequently-changing data, your data changes will automatically be reflected in your Subscribed Link output. This is the appropriate method for most power users, particularly those who have large amounts of data.
