Hello all. I have noticed in searching on Google that some times the results for a page look like this: Welcome to my website, my name is Christopher Ross and I am a technology evangelist, web designer and online marketer. In my spare time I build games, ... Blog - Services - Website Design - Portfolio www.thisismyurl.com/ - 67k - Cached - Similar pages - There are links below for "Blog" "Services" etc... yet most of the other pages on the search don't include things like this, How do you add this so your site includes them?
from http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools Sitelinks are additional links Google sometimes generates from site contents in order to help users navigate your site. Google generates these sitelinks periodically from your site's contents. Because we generate sitelinks dynamically, this list can change from time to time. Example Search ResultThis is an example of what a search result with sitelinks looks like. The sitelinks are displayed below. www.example.com/ - 10k - Cached - Similar pages Sitelinks News Games People and Places About Us Latest Additions Music Photography Movies More results from example.com Google has not generated any sitelinks for your site. Sitelinks are completely automated, and we show them only if we think they'll be useful to the user. If your site's structure doesn't allow our algorithms to find good sitelinks, or we don't think that the sitelinks are relevant to the user's query, we won't show them. However, we are always working to improve how we find and display sitelinks.
so.... is this just kind of a random thing or is there a way to display this on my site so that google will read it.
Google usually pick up links from your homepage as sitelinks. You can monitor it from Google Webmasters Tool.
sitelinks appear to quality site only. the keyword is usually the site name. and the list appear usually the site navigation or those that has high rank in search engine.
Yes, I have noticed that they are usually included in the top of the rankings for their keywords. I was just curious. Sounds link there really isn't anything to do other than to just wait eh?
Well you can continue to build backlinks for your website to get better ranked. In general Google only generates sitelinks for websites with tons of quality backlinks.
