Information about Sitelinks
Thursday, September 07, 2006
You may have noticed that some search results include a set of links below them to pages within
the site. We've just updated our help center with
information on how we generate these links,
called Sitelinks, and why we show them.
Our process for generating Sitelinks is completely automated. We show them when we think they'll
be most useful to searchers, saving them time from hunting through web pages to find the
information they are looking for. Over time, we may look for ways to incorporate input from
webmasters too.
