Google Getting Freer With Sitelinks

Matt Cutts among the beneficiaries

Still Early Yet

It's still rather early for this current adjustment on Google's part.  I think there is still going to be some fine-tuning occurring.  I believe this is all part of larger changes to how Google filters content importance.    If they continue building towards what they say (which they don't necessarily always do) we should be looking at making sure the anchors  and sub-directory names match up and that we seperate more and more content into its own pages and sub-dirctories.

It's the next step in trying to do away with those results based on one front page capturing rankings for 8 different terms.

Yes! I've noticed.

Thanks, Doug, for this information. Yes, I have noticed. The last time I check my Web Master Tools area I noticed Google had finally given me some sitelinks. YEA!!! I was very excited. My safety and security web site has been published for two years and I finally got some site links.

I was thinking it was because of all the hard work I've done since the beginning of the year to boost my ranking but, silly me, it's just Google getting more generous. Hey, that's OK. I'll take the help any way I can get it! Go Google!!

Can it be influenced

I was extremely excited when I started seeing Sitelinks coming up for more of my clients (even those that aren't the 'official' official site for a topic).  When i have the time I am going to look into the question -- Is there a way to influence which of the pages are shown on the Sitelink -- via the sitemap.xml, other site structure or is it based on search trends?  Any ideas? Thanks, Ann

Solution ?

We have noticed through google analytics that those pages which gets more visitors ( those pages are obviously most important pages of a site this is what your visitors think.  ) those pages comes quickly at sitelinks. It's logical enough too. Since google can detect which of your pages are being visited frequently by your visitors so it's making those pages important and showing for sitelinks.
