    Hi,

    When you search google for my blog melvin blog, it shows you my blog at the no.1 spot and it shows 3 sitelinks. My problem however is that the third sitelink has an anchor "Samuel Munro" even though the link's title is not that. Samuel Munro is one of the commenter on that said post and Im just wondering on how did he end up being on the sitelink instead of the post title...

    Any tip?

    Thanks

    They've never said how they generate sitelinks, so it's all guesswork. They seem to use a mix of page titles, and navigation anchor titles.

    (There's some suggestion that they're picking the most popular places that people click - but that would imply that they're using information from within your site which opens a whole different can of worms)

    Really interesting. I have never seen it before. Maybe this topic is the most popular topic for people to click....

    it really is a mystery to me, because i did a research and i havent really found someone who's in the same situation..

    Also the guy is just a commenter so why would he rank for my site. I had thoughts of deleting his comment but that would be my last option..
