More info in google listing....

How do companies have the little 'extra' info and links below the listing? Such as this:



Is this something google just does or can you sign up for it? heh.

 

Google does it for certain sites which are #1. No you can't signup. Google decides who gets it.

 

I think its done for authority sites that is at no.1 position

 

I think that having multiple listing for one site in dmoz may help

 

no it wont help., Most of our authority sites have a listing in Dmoz(but only a single lisiting)

 

you have to be considered and authority site and be number one.....by the way I just knocked an authority site to number 2....

 

Same with me., i just knocked an authority site to no. 2 for an important keyphrase.,
Ours is an authority site too.,

But for that keyphrase, When his listing was no.1 , It showed that 4 extralinks., But now ours (authority site) is no.1 but it does not show the 4 extra links.,

Even weird.,
He is in the second position, and i saw that 4 extra listings for his site which was in the second position for few days

SO i think.,
GOogle takes time to analyze before giving extra links for a particular Keyphrase even for an authority site.
The factors it may count is:
How long your site remains in the first position for a particular keyphrase
How long the previous sites were in the first position that keyphrase.,
How long the visitors stay in your site (i think it can be traced through cookies) after clicking that particular keyphrase
What links he clicks (if that guy has the google toolbar) in that site etc.,

 

So, who decide who and what is an authority site? Do you get a letter from G to let you know your site is an authority site?
