I presume I'm not the only one to see Google's new sitelinks?
Previously a domain would have a top listing with sitelinks, then multiple pages underneath. The domain in question, if on a brand or keyword domain search, could pretty much fill up the first page, allowing no room for competitors, or alternative searches (ie, complaints).
Now it looks as though Google are pushing those additional pages into one massive sitelinks section, with up to 12 listings for the biggest sites.
See if you can see it here:

Looks like a better user experience, though the volume of sitelinks does seem a little heavy - though at least it *finally* allows the first page to allow 9 alternative domain listings.
where on earth they're getting some of the sitelinks from is puzzling me - some of them, at least on my searches, vary each time and go to pages you absolutely can't see any reason for them to think people want to see links to. The anchor on those is also really really strange.
Yes, noticed on the Zen Internet example I gave, one of the sitelinks is to "test files". No real content. User tracking?
I just saw my first author profile on the right of a listing... they must have rolled out a few changes(?)

I noticed that yesterday afternoon while searching for ajax indexing. It was Cutts, of course.
