I have just noticed some changes on Google, alot of sites that never previously had them have started showing up with authority site links, if you type in text link ads into Google you will see that www.text-link-ads.com now has them little authority site links under it's domain name, so does www.bigmouthmedia.com (a UK SEO company) if you search for bigmouthmedia I was hoping my site would get em but no such luck, I would buzz off having them little links under my listing on Google. Oh and SEOmoz have got em as well and a bunch of other authorities!
I'm no.1 on .co.uk which is the one that counts for me, I think it is fair that way SEOCO Inc are no.1 on the .com I am no.1 on the .co.uk, btw luck doesn't come into it.
I don't understand. are you talking about the quick links underneath the result? how to you get them?
Yeah that's what I was talking about, there is no definite way of getting them, authority sites tend to get them, big brands or well-established sites that have been ranking no.1 for something for a few years.
This forum has them also. Not sure if it did before. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=digital+point+forums&btnG=Search
I don't think it is PR that get's you the site-links I have seen a couple of PR4 sites with them, the site has to have ranked no.1 for something for a good 3-4 years or it has to be truely popular like SEOmoz or these forums.
