    There's a lot of worthy information there - but I've seen sites much younger than 2 years have sitelinks - one (although it is older now) had them after less than 1 year.

    Yes. This is speculation, of course, as they acknowledge in the article. But most of their conclusions are probably pretty close, from my observations.

    Their 2 year conclusion may be confounded by the fact that older sites are more likely to be able to achieve #1 ranking for certain search terms and to maintain that #1 ranking once they get there.

    I see alot of people always asking how to get thier site listed like this. Good info and i agree domain name age does not matter but it does not hurt either.

    Thanks for posting, Misstrel. I would agree with many points, but would say 1 year in age is more likely than 2.

    Whatever the niche, I doubt it matters. Porn sites are likely to have similar features like other websites, such as a set of common pages at the top.

    I have site links on my site in my recent blog - no idea how I got them besides running a clean site BUT the site isn't very old at all, maybe 5 months. Domain is a little older.

    If you go into your google account webmaster tools, click on links, then sitelinks, you can see if google has choosen your site to have sitelinks. While you can't choose your own, you do have the ability to block or unblock which ones can be seen.

    Google selects these dynamically and they do change in my case often.

    Hope this helps

    I agree with most of the points except this: Your website must be at least 2 years old. It seems that younger websites don't get Sitelinks.

    My blog is about 1 yr old and got sitelinks. Its already authority on the topic and has over 100,000 backlinks all over the internet.

    Says who? Sitelinks don't make your site an "authority".
