Extra links when you google a domain - What are they?

    What is this called when you get the extra links when you google a domain name? For instance googling mozilla.com provides 8 links right below the first result.

    Download Mozilla
    Thunderbird
    Products
    Other Systems & Languages
    Firefox Support Home Page
    Firefox
    Launches Internet Mail and ...
    Releases Firefox 3 and ...

    One of my sites also has the 8 links to different parts of my site. Does this mean I am getting some google love? Or is it not very hard to get those kinds of links? I rank really well in google and do get a lot of traffic to this site.

    Those are site links. It is sort of not easy. Google got a automated system that take care of it.

    I believe you are classified as an authority site when that happens.

    How does Google compile the list of links shown below some search results?

    The links shown below some sites in our search results, called sitelinks, are meant to help users navigate your site. Our systems analyze the link structure of your site to find shortcuts that will save users time and allow them to quickly find the information they're looking for.

    We only show sitelinks for results when we think they'll be useful to the user. If the structure of your site doesn't allow our algorithms to find good sitelinks, or we don't think that the sitelinks for your site are relevant for the user's query, we won't show them.

    At the moment, sitelinks are completely automated. We're always working to improve our sitelinks algorithms, and we may incorporate webmaster input in the future.

    If you think that the sitelinks displayed for your site are inappropriate or incorrect, you can block them so that they no longer appear.

    To block a sitelink, first ensure that you have verified ownership of the site. Then:

    1. On the Webmaster Tools Dashboard, click the site you want.
    2. Under Links, click Sitelinks. If we have sitelinks information for your site, we'll display a list of sitelinks.
    3. Click Block next to the sitelink you want to remove. Please let us know why you want to block the sitelink - it will help us improve the way we generate and display sitelinks.

    Once you've blocked or unblocked a sitelink, it can take some time for your changes to be visible.

    Note that we only display sitelinks when a site has a minimum of three sitelinks available. If you have two or fewer unblocked sitelinks, no sitelinks at all will appear in Google search results for your site.

    Once you've blocked a sitelink, it won't appear in the Google search results for 90 days. This period will be extended every time you visit the Sitelinks page on Webmaster Tools.

    Domain SEO is the basic SEO,
    A good domain can make other remenber it easy.
    And SE is not all way to interview a web.
