[...] Sitelinks at last It looks like Google performed a major update to the sitelinks feature, the list of additional links placed under authoritative domains in the search results. Even Winning the Web received this feature this time around. Do a search for “winning the web” and you’ll see what I mean. Some of the links are a little funky right now but they should work themselves out as the site continues to grow. [...]

I believe sitelinks has everything to do with search content relevance. Nothing to do with age, (how many) links, pagerank or (how many) indexed pages.

For instance when taking a look at blogstorm sitelinks it features this webpage http://www.blogstorm.co.uk/guide-to-geo-targeting-for-seo-and-usability/ and when searching google for “guide to geo targeting” this results in #1 for blogstorm, when this keyword-content relevance match occurs you can get sitelinks. Imo.

Sitelinks are the list of links under the site, they appear for authority sites such as amazon and ebay.

I just got mine recently, I blocked some pages in webmaster central (they took 6 days to change) then I got some equally dodgy blog posts but I’ll leave it as is.

Hi,

I subscribed to your RSS.

I don’t understand about sitelink in google. After reading your post, i tried google search for my domain name, fredchanblog, it show a sitelink. I started my blog with the domain name http://www.fredchanblog.com in November 2007. Thats only 5 months ago. It was ranked 5/10 by Google on 30 March 2008.

Initially I used my domain name as my blog’s name but in December 2007, I changed the blog title to ‘Trade Shares in Bursa Malaysia’ to better reflect my contents. Maybe my niche is ‘very niche’. I also started using SEO techniques in December 2007 which resulted in my keywords in the top 3 of the first page for SERP by January 2008.

Coming back, what is the purpose of sitelink in Google Search?

Nice job Patrick! One of my clients emailed me right as I was reading your newsletter and was wanting to know about the new “thingies” under her site listing. I’m pretty stoked for you and now for my client as well.

Cheers.

Hey Patrick,
Speak of the devil, I just got mine too (Winning the Web).. and in 6 months time (since I actively started blogging not when the domain was first indexed). Congrats! Now it’s time to optimize them. Mine are showing some funky results.
