Sitelinks ,what are they

The small subheadings  that are shown below a website’s main URL in Google's search results are called Sitelinks. These provide shortcuts to the most important pages of your site; they help potential visitors easily find what they need and navigate your site in a timely manner. Sitelinks not only provide easy nav  into your site’s structure and bring information and options up front to users, but they also expand your seo  and click-through rates. 

setting site links up

first you need a webmasters account on google,if you have then log in, setting up a Google Analytics and Google Adwords is a good idea too. Even if you use thirdparty seo services they are good  for the project too

You Get Sitelinks!

First you need a Sitemap (.XML). If you don’t have one, you can create a sitemap manually or by using third-party tools. A simple solution is to use this XML generator:http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/.

As an example, here's a portion of sitemap: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<urlset

      xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"

      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

      xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9

            http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd">

<url>

  <loc>http://wwwtechknowblogging.com<loc>

  <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>

  <priority>1.00</priority>

</url>

<url>

  <loc>http://www.techknowblogging.com/blog/</loc>

  <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>

  <priority>0.80</priority>

</url>

After completing your sitemap and downloading from XML-Sitemaps.com, upload the sitemap.xml file to your site. By now, you should be able to typehttp://www.yourwebsite.com/sitemap.xml in your browser and see the sitemap you just created . Now, follow these easy, Google instructions for submitting your sitemap into Webmaster Tools, go to Webmaster Tools and click Optimization  Sitemaps. , click "Add/Test Sitemap," and enter the sitemap URLif you are a blogger user Use http://YOURBLOGNAME.com/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500 as your blogger sitemap

Almost done...

You must know: As of now, Google automatically generates your sitelinks using an algorithm or bot – you do not have direct control over what links appear below your main URL. However, you can demote(remove) sitelinks in your Webmaster Tools account if you don’t feel a specific URL is a good "shortcut" candidate. For demoting a link, go to Webmaster Tools > Configuration > Sitelinks and enter the URL in the  text box.

you'll need traffic and seo

But sad news is there is  no guarantee that your sitemap will generate search engine sitelinks. You need to make sure that your "site's internal links are good” Manybloggers suggest that sitelinks are generated from a combination of website authority (i.e. inbound links), traffic, and branded keywords. At the very least, make sure that your site’s link structure is clean and sensible. Also, take time to mark up the contents of your pages to help Google decide which internal links to showcase.ping your links and posts improve seo and get your site linked

last words....

Sitelinks are indeed important and viral for a blogger its your turn now to make it up till you get your important sitelinks under your site in google organic search!
