Google will now link you to webpages of the past via the Wayback Machine

Thanks to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, you'll be able to find older versions of the sites that appear in your search results.

The goal is to streamline access to archived details about a webpage to show how it's evolved, preserve important information, and offer help to researchers, according to a Google spokesperson. "That's why we've added links to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine to our 'About this page' feature, to give people quick context and make this helpful information easily accessible through Search." The link to archived webpages won't be available in cases where the owner or rights holder has opted out of the process or if the page violates content policies.
