  3. Google Adds Links To SERP Pages In Featured Snippets

Google is adding links to featured snippets that when clicked on sends the searcher to a new set of search results at Google.

Previously, Google began testing showing links in featured snippets to third-party sites. But here, Google is adapting the content from your site and adding hyperlinks not to third-party sites but to see more search results.

A Google spokesperson has confirmed this was a bug and not the intended behaviour they want to have in featured snippets and they are working on a fix.

Remember a time when bugs used to break the system, this bug is so sophisticated it works like a feature. Who are you trying to fool Google, you should have just said this was boo boo on our end we weren’t supposed to make it public, just yet.
