    I think site must be around 2 years or so old to be able to get site links.

    None of bid directories is that old.

    Just an opinion, not a sure it is a fact.

    i am not sure if that is true,
    i think is not a fact,but also think that no bid directory have sitelinks so far,so i hope to be the first if G is not playing with me :)
    because i see in my webmaster tools today sitelinks for my bid directory that is online less than a year
    but i cant find them allthought i have search every possible term/keyphrase
    if anyone know,they come up first in webmaster tools and then in search results?
    maybe they show only to regional Google and not on .com?

    No none of the bidding directories contained on Bidilicious had sitelinks last time I ran through them which was roughly a week before the last PR update.

    And yes sitelinks do appear in your webmaster tools account before they are shown publicly. I was reading a post about the same thing on Sitepoint Marketplace yesterday where a guy was in the same situation with a site he was selling.

    So you may well be the first with your bid directory.

    No it isn't true, phpLynx got sitelinks when it had its last site layout and it took just about a year and a bit to gain that. We've changed the site and the navigation now and the sitelinks have gone. This told us some important factors, it has nothing to do with the content as such, like some people here said, nor whether its a so called 'authority' on a given topic. It has everything to do with how you lay present the information and how google index these.

    The age of the site has nothing to do with the sitelinks indeed. I start working on Zyas.com in october last year and before the last update I got the sitelinks...let's count about 6 months or so...

    I think any theory on what makes sitelinks appear is really just a theory as Google has not come out and explained it to my knowledge.

    I do not think that time plays much part in it - probably more to do with inbound links, search terms used and the sites link structure.

    Google just says it is to ease the efforts of the searcher to find the content they are looking for and that is probably the truth of it. Google probably just needs to be able to clearly recognize and understand the sites content as it relates to the search query.

    there is no any bidding web directory get sitelinks.
    it might take at least half year.
    before I owned a blog cssjuice dot com and from last updated,
    it got google sitelinks.
    pr4 is the highest pagerank right now.
    sure it would not include the quick buck crew sites or fake pr sites.

    Thank you all for your answers.
    So i have to wait to see how long it will take to appear.
    i think that site links dont mean authority but a way google to show that this site is trusted
    have a seo friendly structure and it will remain in 1 position for this keyword for a long time.
    It is sure a way to see if your seo efforts have succed and i will be happy when are going to display
    since i will be the first bid directory that gets them,but i have to wait because you never know with Google :)
    By the way it shows 5 sitelinks
    Greece Spain Italy United kingdom world
    sure it would not include the quick buck crew sites or fake pr sites. :)

    They don't have to swedal. We used a process of elimination and hard study over the past year to work out how to do it. The fact we had site links, changed a certain method and lost it proved to us what we already know, that there is a way to gain them quite easily.

    The only reason I haven't let on how to do so is to prevent the thousands of wannabe QBC's who'd take advantage of this and make it harder for those who've put hard graft in to obtain this feature.

    the fact that u loose them can be as simple as that ur url structure change and that as a result make G to put the sitelinks down due to the fact that there were like broken links.Or i misingsomething here?

    Nothing to do with broken links, it was to do with a total change of structure.

    how you explain when you have 3 sitelinks, then 6, then 8 then less, ... without changing a single character in the page.
    also some reported that they had a sitelink of a page that is nofollowed.
    a sitelink is an additional search result that google thinks is relevant to the search query, they use many factors for this like traffic, internal link structure, internal links anchors, backlinks, content, ...

    due to the fact that there were like broken links.
    I didnt say that u have broken links but that u change ur url structure
    and that as a result will make sitelinks dissapear because they were generated (automaticaly)and display according to the old url structure that u have.So simple.

    mhambi i totaly agree.

    I can't nor won't explain anything google do, it would be second guessing. What I can tell you is that one structure method we used worked for getting sitelinks, another doesn't.

    I don't agree with backlinks having anything to do with sitelinks but perhaps you know more than me. :)

    Silkysmooth i hope when (if) the site links appear this will raise me on the bidilicious rank that allthought all my indicators go up my BR goes down :(
    I even did a little bit of seo changes for the term bid directory that i never focus on it (and i guess u count it on your algorythm) and i climb 2-4 pages up in the serps (on 3rd page i think?) so i can rank better but nothing yet:)

    Same for me and Zorg Directory.

    I was wondering if the navigation structure on a bid directory is the cause for this, additional to googles dislike of them.

    They show every 1 page deep link on every single page - making it near impossible for google to find the main/important pages.

    Sorry I have been a bit busy with offline stuff recently, but BR is being given a facelift so to speak which is why there is little movement as certain aspects are currently locked in. The sitelinks themselves wouldn't give you any ranking difference as it is not something that the algo looks at nor will it be incorporated, but there are other factors being added which will affect your ranking.

    Just keep plugging away on your site and I am sure it will raise up when the algo is back on track.
