Local Internet Marketing Search UNCENSORED...!

Some of our clients have noticed that the listing that Google has for their website in its results pages has a number of sub-links below its main entry on the results pages and have to come us to ask â??What are these?â?

These sub-links are in effect â??short-cutsâ?? to pages deep within a website that Google has placed in its search results which allow users looking for your site, to link directly into the pages of your site without first going through the main entry page Google has listed for your site (more often than not this main entry page is your siteâ??s Home Page).

Take a look at the screen-shot images above and below in this article, which illustrate the concept.

Google calls these sub-link short-cuts into the inner pages of your website, â??Site linksâ? and defines them as:

â??Site links are additional links Google sometimes generates from site contents in order to help users navigate your site. Google generates these site links periodically from your siteâ??s contents. Because we generate site links dynamically, this list can change from time to time.â?

Thereâ??s no doubt that â??Site linksâ?? are a useful enhancement to a websiteâ??s listing in Googleâ??s SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) once theyâ??ve been allocated â??Site linksâ?? by Google. However because Site links are generated automatically by Googleâ??s algorithm (the complex mathematical formulae that Google uses to rank websites in its results), as a website owner there is little control over what can and canâ??t be displayed the Site links listed for any particular website.

Furthermore, Google, like everything it does with respect to its search results: keeps itâ??s method of generating Sitelinks a secret in order to stop any one website dominating its search results. So itâ??s not as if you could drop them an email to ask them.

However Google does offer some background information on the subject of Site links and how website owners can to some degree, control their display.
Take a look at their own blog at:

and within the Webmaster Help Centre on its own site:

Researching the subject on the web through various SEO blogs and forums it seems that the consensus of opinion by experienced web marketers is that in order for a site to be allocated Site links by Google, it generally has to satisfy a number of criteria, namely:

â?¢ The website is easily spider able with a well structured navigation

â?¢ The site gets a good ranking with high levels of natural search traffic

â?¢ The site has a high click through rate (CTR) from the search results page

â?¢ The site presents useful outbound links

â?¢ There are many inbound links from high quality, 3rd party websites

â?¢ The website age is several years old
