Collection of FAQs About Google Sitelinks!

Do you already know something about Google Sitelinks and would want to know more about them? Recently, sitelinks made news as Google added them to a whole new set of websites and this was a happy moment for us too as we got them for ourselves.

Sitelinks are a set of links, that Google shows just below the result of a website appearing on the SERPs. These links are hyperlinked to the main pages of your website. While Google chooses them randomly, you can control the number of sitelinks that appear.

Now, Cristian Mezei has compiled a great FAQ on Google Sitelinks, though unofficial but surely ultimate.

The in depth overview of the topics covered includes information like:

• Procedures which may be involved in the appearance of Sitelinks.
• Top 5 reasons Google may decide to show your Sitelinks.
• Misleading advices about Google Sitelinks.
• And of course the FAQs.

Apparently, there's quite a lot of advice from several specialists and/or bloggers from the industry about how to get sitelinks, since all of it isn't helpful, as either it's too general or they could be simply loose-ends, feels Cristian.
