Google has recently made public a new application that will help webmasters to control what Site Links are displayed for their site in Google’s search results. If you have not seen a “Site Link” before, they are the smaller text links that are displayed under a website’s domain on the page that Google displays it’s results. Google doesn’t always generate site links for every single site, nor do they always display them for a website that they do have them for. They usually only show them if they think it’ll actually be helpful to a person who is searching for more information on a specific site.
For example, look here:
The Villages, FL has site links that are displayed, but no other website has that.
To see if site links are available for your website, and to hide site links that you don’t want to have displayed, then log into your Google Webmaster Tools and select “Links-> Sitelinks” in the left hand navigation. If they have none for you, or don’t have the ones that you want, then there will be no way for you to change them.
