Hi, my boss asked me how come that some sites are listed in google with after the description a few more links to the site. Like this example: First I was thinking it had to do with the sites RSS feeds but after checking the site I couldn't find a connection. I've seen more sites listed like this. Who knows why the listing has extra links and how it is done? Thanks in advance!
Yes, the best sites get that. The links are based on the internal link-structure. So make sure you have a good internal link structure just to be ready when your site does reach that authority status.
Just becoming high authority site . You site has to be good in every meaning of this word, quality, popular etc... this is obvious. Then Google decide, you can't ask for this, you can only work on your site.
Google is never going to give more then 5% of the listed sites this kind of treatment, and right now I'd guess it at about 1%. So the chances of getting this type of link are pretty low. To become an authority site you need to really create absolutely amazing content. Like: the basic information needed to succeed in your niche. The basics your customers need to know. Detailed technical expertise on that subject. Good overviews - etc. You need a full time content creator, excellent site-navigation and good promotion. Whether there is an actual business case to do all that, is another issue. Still, even if it doesn't get you those site-links (as they are called, if I'm not mistaken) it will get you higher rankings in the search engines and more customers to boot.
These are Sitelinks. More official information about them can be found at: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=47334&topic=8523
Thanks for the fast answer! But I do not understand how it is decided what links are used for the Sitelinks. I looked closer at a few site that have Sitelinks but I can't find any logic in which links show up in the Sitelinks. They aren't the main navigation of the site. It looks more like the links have been chosen random. Could it be that the urls in the Sitelinks are pages that have the most links (internal or/and external) pointing to them? Anyone have an idea of the logic google is using of deciding which pages come in your Sitelinks?
Yep, probably the most linked sites are listed as additional listing and internal linking can help to build this structure.
Ive noticed some sites get these, I have wondered about it to. Pretty weak considering its def not the best sites that get em.
Yes, authority site get this maybe the site gain a lot of quality links and most of their links are also from trusted site.
I always though it had something to do with the busiest pages.... how they know which sections or pages are the busiest I don't know, but so far, it seems they have a good way of choosing which sections of a site are the main sections.....
If you type in the firefox's address bar what you're looking for (in this case it's toptable) or simply some famous software (try apache) it'll search the google (like any other keyword) but shows the first result which is the sites you are talking about. So if you want to be listed like that you should be feeling lucky everyday!
I tried make one like that. My site only have two extra links not good enough. and Google only give me // " More results from the site "
