Breadcrumbs in Google Mobile Search
Breadcrumbs in Google Mobile Search
Google's Mobile Search site replaced URLs for Search results with Breadcrumbs that reflect the structure of the URL. "To help Mobile searchers understand your website better when we show it in the Mobile Search results, today we're updating the algorithms that display URLs in the Search results to better reflect the names of websites, using the real-world name of the site instead of the domain name, and the URL structure of the sites in a breadcrumbs-like format," informs Google. For example, instead of URLs like www.google.com/about/company/history, you'll see something like this: Google > about > company > history.

You can include multiple site names, but they have to be unique and closely related to the domain name. Breadcrumbs are already used in desktop SERPs. When they were released, you could click each link to navigate the site's hierarchy, but this feature is ** longer available. Google also shows the site's name next to the URL and you can click it to find more information about the site.  Mobile SERPs will add a similar feature and the most important change is that Google will replace the domain name with the site's name. Regular users don't understand web addresses and that's why they use Search engines to navigate to sites they visit often like Facebook or Amazon. Mobile Breadcrumbs will gradually roll out worldwide, but site names will only be displayed in the US. I assume that Google will use domain names outside the US, at least for **w. In my opinion, the war against URLs is a bad idea. More and more browser partially hide URLs, Google replaces Search results URLs with Breadcrumbs and even tests removing them. URLs may be meaningless for many people, but they're unique and they give some information about the site's identity. It's hard to come up with unique site names, especially when you consider that there are many companies, products and sites that have the same name.
