are there any tools that i can test my site with to make sure it can get sitelinks. i have no errors in my sitemaps and all are indexed
Sitelinks are generated at random for sites by Google to aid in navigation. There is no "update" timeline.
So I don't understand what a site link is you all are talking about. Are you talking about backlinks?
google sets these links. without asking if appropriate connections already in the search results you will issue.
