I also note that my proportion of non homepage entries is very high (like 85%+) - indeed my first sitelink is for the category section that has generated the most inbound traffic overall. I applause Google for the succint way it has scaleably obtained and edited the text for some of my sitelinks. I agree traffic volumes are unimportant. I would be interested if the probability of receiving sitelinks is proportional to pagerank relative to non homepage entries ratio. If you think about it for a moment, if google thinks your site overall can earn high pagerank, but your traffic is mostly arriving via the back and side doors, then offering the visitor sitelinks for your brandname/domain name makes usability sense. 1 - disagree, my site is less than 6 months domain registered

A couple of my sites have sitelinks - but unfortunately neither of them are sites you would search for by name... hence they aren't seen very often... Good work!

Most of the stuff out there was very vague and unhelpful, so I decided to plan out some research over time to see what I could discover and what theories worked and what didn't. So in the end, we all benefited! Well that’s the situation I was in, too!

The trick is to write stuff that informs put doesn't empower, unless you already know what needs to be done. That way, people still have to pay me to do these things for them. Speak soon and thanks for commenting... Hi Ralph!

That was the most in-depth and informative article on Google Sitelinks I have ever read. I have noticed that a few of my sites have got Sitelinks when I check in the webmasters tools - so now I just need to do some searching online to see when they start to appear. Thanks again for the great article. Alex What can I say? That was the most in-depth and informative article on Google Sitelinks I have ever read.

If you search "webscutest" in the US then they show up. I have not noticed the actual site links pages gaining any traffic at all.
