Why Google do not give site links to wikileaks.org the famous political site that published a lot of interesting secret documents? Enourmous amount of searches every day and an old site = must have site links I think no body searches about sites these days as wikileaks It appears in search as a crappy new site !!
It's number 3 on the first page, Twitter surpasses it with the talk going on there. Plus, they tried moving servers to Amazon but were kicked off there. It's all over the first page, don't say it isn't.
sitelinks can only show depends on the search query.. by the way it also depends on the popularity of its inner pages..
Hmm...I am also surprising as well. They have 3700 backlinks in Google according to link: search operator then it is not possible to not archived sitelinks. It is also possible that this certain website has been manual adjusted to not gain any credibility regardless to how many links they have. They did not rank well for any possible related search terms which show how low of their authority, which they had before the mega exposed US secret documents recently.
I do not think any manual adjustment has been made toward Wikileaks.org specifically. But I bet no one cannot tell the exact reason why this website do not get sitelinks. Wikileaks is still great even they do not have any sitelinks.
Not only google unlike this US also unlike that site because this site saying truth and release confidential documents. Why people doesn't like the truth ?
now for me there is no doubt this site is penalized it appears that Google may penalize it as it is a source of violating privacy... However for any human it is a source of truth and well appreciated. I know far less known sites, far less backlinks, and far worse internal linking structure : having site links in much shorter time by the way site links is given to a site (or even partition of site) if users search it many times and picking the same result, as when searching "youtube" it means I want to go to the site so site links appear to show more of the site
Same reason Google did not want you to see this video! Beware of Google. Something weird is going on in that company. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=2019755
