Our site we popped together last week thanks to wordpress.com CMS was enjoyable and no problem - we then sent over our domain name - neaglelawyers.com.au to wordpress for that domain mapping thing so as to cloak the site properly and keep adwords happy ..all good.. which it did for a few days - then come this morning i do a quick Google on neagle lawyers and instead of the normal home page blurb we had coming up with our .com.au domain name - there was our homepage blurb, but with a different longer URL pointing to what looks an archive of the wordpress homepage - neaglelawyers.com.au/author/neaglelawyers .. .like what is that - where would that have come from? Is this maybe a Google thing or a Wordpress thing even tho' I in fact paid for the domain upgrade?? Cheers for these great posts!! Many thanks!! woah..inspiring read.. for non-techie just starting our small firms site [going down the wordpress.com road]

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.
