Google showing links to internal pages on domain

Sometimes when doing searches on Google, I'd find some URLs also link to other internal pages on the domain, which is very cool. How does one go about doing this? Is this something to do with Google Sitemaps?

cheers

 

quite normal when using IBL's directly to the sub pages rather the domain / home

how many links to internal pages are we talking... ?

 

Apologies - I'm new to this forum - what is IBL?

Thanks,
Mat

 

Dont apologise dude...

IBL - inbound link (ie. backlinks)

 

Just the same that you would need to get your homepage listed... remember, Google indexes pages, not sites

 

Duh!! of course

Thanks!

 

I realise that, but I'm not talking getting internal pages indexed here...

 

uh... then what are you talking about?

Oh, I get it... just change Just the same that you would need to get your homepage listed for Just the same that you would need to get your homepage ranked

 

refer to my first post

you know how G sometimes links to other internal pages under the main URL in the SERPS...

 

yeah, I figured it out

As expat said, you can get any page ranked by getting enough backlinks and doing enough seo on it, it doesn't have to be the homepage

 

lol, maybe I aint making myself clear. I aint referring to getting internal pages ranked well...

Let me grab a screenshot aye.



As expat said, I think it maybe just a case of getting alot of links to those internal pages, my Q, how many?

 

its not an exact sience G never is...
targeting specific key phrases at sub page level that answer this phrase whilst using more generic ones for the hub or index page(s) works well for me.

As one automatically aquires links & references to hub or index page anything from 5 - 50 IBL's to a specific page may do it.

Remember whatever the shifts in algos cover your back so 50 IBL's to a sub page and just 2 to the index or hub page are a bit scewed.....

Any link to any page counts (in the end) and the broader the base the more stable are the results in SERP's and the more likely the whole linking looks "natural".

cheers dude, Im just very curious about this because I think its pretty important. Effectively, you can have like 5 pages on the first page of the SERPs instead of like 2. Do you know when G implemented this, has it been for some time now?

 

...well only if these would be different domains on different servers etc....
trying more than 2 the content would be to close for comfort for me.... and thus probably for G and others.
