Ive seen on some big websites previously like Amazon or high street stores in google results it sometimes displays the main page of the website and then under this it has links to different areas of the site.
I came across the same thing for our website when searching "Body jewelry Shopping" body jewelry shopping - Google Search 1. It is quite pleasing to see but does anyone know why it decides to show the results with links to other sub catagories 2. Can we control which links it displays? steve |

Steven,
You're talking about sitelinks. You can get more information about the sitelinks of your own website from Google Webmaster Tools (www.google.com/webmasters/tools). Get your account, verify your website and Google will give you additional information.

Yes those are sitelinks and now when some branded searches are typed in you can see a Google custom search box that searchers can use.
Look at this search for Amazon: amazon - Google Search |
|

Google makes the decision of just what internal links, if any, to display with a site listing. The only control you have over them is your own SEO practices.
Yep, your site is special! Really, it isn't every site that is set up well enough that google will index and display sitelinks. |

Much like Steven1976a's "body jewelry shopping", my site is also a 3-word domain name. When I searched by those three words with a space in between like Steven1976a's example, I also had identical results, with a range of multiple deep links displayed.
Yes, it was very nice to see that. Felt like a big boy!!! But, on a serious note, is it purely an attribute of successful SEO, or is it also a function of the domain name itself? If instead of bodyjewelryshopping.com, Steven1976a's domain was stevenjewels.com, for instance, and we searched for "body jewelry shopping", would the result still be the same, or different? Regards!

Do you think that the custom search will only be shown for e-commerce sites?

Dear Incrediblehelp.... No need to be nasty. What people are talking about here is how to get the Google site listings in the first place...not how to keep Google from doing it. |

Keyon the member above has been posting some misinformaiton in other threads. Considering you just joined and and only have one post I can only assume that you are coming to his defense directly. Reading through this thread you can see that I clearly pointed out that GWT does the job for you.
Not being nasty just pointing out the obvious. |

Aside from the issue of controlling which pages Google might include in your sitelinks, what about raza's question about what gets you a sitelinks in the first place? Is it purely an attribute of successful SEO, or the mere size of your website, or something else? thanks |

Ranging from seoworkers to datetopia to bodyjewelryshopping to gulfjobsites.
Why does it appear that the keywords in the domain name itself are playing a role? When I googled "dating software" (without the quotes to keep it a regular search), datetopia appeared near the bottom of the first page, in single entry, like any other results. All of its haram of sub links were gone. I googled "gulf jobs" (again without the quotes) and gulfjobsites also lost its sub-link entries which had appeared when I had earlier searched the keywords "gulf job sites" (without quotes). I googled "seo consultants", "seo work", and our friends from seoworkers.com would just not show up all the way to 6th/7th page. I then googled "Search Engine Optimization Consulting Company" straight from their title tag and they appeared at the top result, but without the sublinks. Then I googled a more natural permutation "seo consulting company", and they disappeared from the results again. Would the gurus like to shed some light on whats happening. I reckon that by getting all the fancy results from searches which are a direct replica of the words in the domain name, we are simply fooling ourselves, or boosting our egos unnecessarily. |

Nobody can tell for sure, since this is an algorithm which Google did not reveal.
But from my observation so far I assume that these are some points how it works:
I hope this info helps. P.S. Maybe the SEO expert member subhzash can tell you more.

It does it for my URL / company name. It doesn't do it for any of my main keywords. Add this to the other evidence here and i reckon it only happens when the keyword relevance is very very high (e.g. brand names). Google obviously takes the decision that the keyword you used was meant specifically to find that site and displays more options because of this.
Have i explained that right?! |

thanks for all the great replies. I especially like the comment from inertia about the "brand name" i kind of brought up the subject as the results i was noticing seemed to be branded searches and brand names.
Moving swiftly along on the same topic, why when i type "Tesco" as a search term in the google results it shows a Search Bar under their result which says search Tesco? Is this a new feature in google or is this something you could add in google webmaster section? I dont see the point or practiability myself for it but just curious. steve |

I have to admit that I'm a little baffled as to why Google will implement site links. Of my two main sites, one is much younger, has only a fraction of the content of the other and receives much less traffic and ranks for keywords that get less traffic and yet it's the one that gets sitelinks (albeit, only for the site name, but still...)

Not site name related, but very useful to the user. So if you have a site that has a lot of different information on a very generic subject, youŽll likely to have good sitelinks for it. It does however make sense that when youŽre looking for a brand name, that sitelinks show up. A brand name is a very generic subject.
