I have been asked countless times how to get included in the Google “One Box”. That’s when there used to be a “one-box”. Now we have Google Universal Search results. They contain listings from Google Products, Google News, Google Images, Videos, etc. Getting included in Google News can drive a ton of traffic.

At PubCon this year there was a session on this, and I am pretty sure they recommended having numbers in the url as well. No one from Google confirmed this, but it seemed to be the concensus of the panel. I guess even a date would work, but they wanted numbers.
