Is mysite an Authority site now?

I was just checking in webmaster tools and saw that my site now has Sitelinks. Does that mean my site is now an Authority site?

Thanks

 

No. It just means it has sitelinks. That has nothing to do with whether or not the site is an "authority site". It simply means that for certain search terms your site has sufficient backlinks to both the home page and inner pages and a navigation structure that permits Google to offer alternate entries into your site.

 

cool thanks. but how do you know when it is authority then?

 

You don't. Google may have a definition for it but they're not saying, beyond a patent application from a few years back.

 

Hoho..Sitelinks and Authority are two things.

if you git sites liks that mean google now truest in your links and you are out of sandbox

 

That's good, but it doesn't mean you're an authority site at all. They're two completely different things, but, congrats!

 

i am still waiting for mine.

 

the strange part is that when i search for my domain google i do not see the sitelinks but i see it in webmaster tools. Maybe after the next serp updates?

 

try logging out if logged in.

use the keyword list google gives you to look for your site...

I believe the display is when a keyword search is done, if I am not mistaken.

 

did it with no luck. MY site is Astawerks.com see if you can figure out how to get them to show!.
