    Hi all!

    From what I have seen, google can display sub categories when searching for a website online.

    Is it correct there are 3 different displays ?

    1) None
    2) 3 categories
    3) 8 categories

    What is it that determines this display ?

    Backlinks, traffic, how the site is built, or something else ?

    Just wants to chit chat about this area so go ahead and post some comments.

    I don't understand what you are talking about.
    Can you give a link or print screen so we can see what you mean ?

    You mean google displaying site directories like this, in the search results?

    yoursite.com/somedirectory/

    I assumed he meant sitelinks
    Look up sitelinks, it's a surprisingly boring topic - google does it automatically, they haven't said what the criteria are, they are doing it more and more, it doesn't mean any mythical 'authority' status, it's done to aid searchers.
