How do you alter the links that appear under you google listing

Hi

You know that when someone search for a site specifically google sometime shows a selection of links pointing to internal pages.

Does anyone know how google figures out which internal pages to show?

How can I alter them?

Any help appericated.

Thanks

They're called sitelinks. They're automated and beyond your control.

 

Thats right

 

Some webmasters have experimented with sitelinks and have some theory on how to get them. Google 'how to get sitelinks' and you will find many articles such as this:

Thanks for the helpful reply nicilike.

Hooperman if something automated it doesn't mean it beyond your control it just means you need to figure out how they automate it. Search engine results are automated but doesn’t stop loads of people making a living out of manipulating them.

 

I said they're automated and beyond your control, not they're automated so they're beyond your control.

Thanks for the useful link niceilike. Regarding the point "Site age is several years or older" - my site was 18 months old when it got them so you don't necessarily have to wait aeons. Interestingly, as far as the "Things We Can Do to Improve the Odds of Getting Sitelinks" points (from the article), they are things that site coders should be doing anyway, and not some 'new trick to get sitelinks'. Good article though

 

You cannot do anything about sitelinks that Google shows for authority sites. They are automatically created by Google algo's

 

I think only google can add links in sitelinks..webmaster can just focus on good seo

 

The only thing you can do with sitelinks is to have them removed from Webmaster Tools.
