Rich-Snippets with Sitelinks. How-to?
-
Quick question with a hopefully easy answer (and to get away from all this Penguin 2.0 talk). Does anyone have any tips for activating Sitelinks for landing pages other than your homepage?
I've attached a screenshot to better illustrate what I'm hoping to achieve, but basically I would like our SERP to have the same extra links under our meta description as the #2 result. I haven't been able to find any direct information as to how to achieve this. Is their markup code involved? Another one of those things that Google just randomly does?
The keyword in questions is, "teaching jobs abroad" FYI
Any factors that would point me in the right direction would be very helpful!

Sitelinks are "earned" with a high quality site that communicates brand trust and where Google determines "these pages are the most visited pages". Having proper information architecture and navigational breadcrumbs (RDFa or Schema) can sometimes help because they reinforce content relationships, however they're not required to obtain sitelinks.

Here's what I know about sitelinks in a nutshell:
Google randomly chooses them, there is no markup involved.
From my experience, more prominent pages from your navigation tend to be chosen.
All you can do is choose which pages should NOT display as sitelinks by demoting them in GWT.
It is easiest to attain sitelinks for branded search terms.

Snippet showing as domain name with apostrophe, instead of page title when searching for the domain name.
Hi, We have an issue with one of our websites, with the snippet dispaying differently in Google serps when searching for the domain or the website name rather than a search term. When searching for a search term, the page title shows as expected, but when searching for the site by the domain name either with or without the tld, it shows the snippet as the domain name with an apostrophe at the end. Domain is subli.co.uk Thanks in advance for any advice!

I want my blog's category pages to have the ability to be indexed and rank, therefore I don't want to noindex these pages. My strategy is to create original snippets for each post on these pages but I don't know what Wordpress plugin or configuration I can use to create original snippet content on the Homepage and Category pages that will not show up within the blog post text itself. Any suggestions?

Rich Snippets - What am I doing wrong
Hi all, This is my first post and I really hope someone in here can point me in the right direction. Background:
On-Page Optimization | | bfrl
I added Rich Snippets code to the footer of my site, tested it on http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets which all looks good. I was attempting to link reviews for our brand rather than specific products as these product reviews aren't available. Result:
Every page on my site contained the same rich snippets code and within a couple of days all the site pages were indexed including review stars. After another couple of weeks the review stars were removed from every page on the next crawl/index. Next Steps:
I removed Rich Snippets code from every page except my home page. The rich review stars appeared in the search results for a couple of days but in the past two weeks they have since disappeared again. What next?
I appreciate that I went about the implementation incorrectly but at this time only the home page contains valid mark up but no review stars in search. Has anyone got experience or advice to help me out in this situation? Many thanks.0
