New Google Toolbar
We all love Google's toolbar. It tells us the page rank of all the pages we create or optimise and regularly induces moment s of joy or grief depending on the changes caused by the last "Google Dance".
However the latest update to our handy toolbar also includes auto links. Meaning that Google inserts links into your webpage whether you put one there or not. For example an ISBN number on your site will automatically be linked to the corresponding sale on Amazon. Or if you have your address on the site it will automatically link to the corresponding Google Map Page.
Not nice if you like to be in control of your site! Thankfully you can download a handy Javascript to kill the feature on your site.
