Ask YC: SEO/Google results
If you search for IBM on google, their site has a list of the main categories that shows in the results. Is there a way to encourage goog to include these for your site, or is it an optimization on their end for certain sites and you can't force it at all?
- ssharp 18y agoFor the site I work on, Google just does this without any sort of sitemap or anything from our end.
- gscott 18y agoI had all of the pages in the root directory and it wasn't until I broke them out into there own directories did I get some links under the google.com search for officezilla.com. It makes a big difference, without those links your site listing is "just another listing" but with the additional links your site looks more important.
- mrtron 18y agoOK great, we have our sections broke out that way. I suppose it is just a matter of traffic and pagerank?
- hcho 18y agoGoogle calls it site links. See: http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=47334 http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en...
- solost 18y agoGoogle says that when it believes a user has performed a search that they believe is "navigational" they will serve site links for your site.
