Googles Now Giving More Power To Ranked #1?
-
Not sure if this has been discussed before, but if you make certain searches in google i.e. "sports authority" you will find that the site ranked #1 has extra links below it like a "library" into their site. How do you get this "library" to appear on your site when your site is in #1?

The short answer to that question is that you can't make a flash site 'fully' SEO friendly. That's why so many companies that were counseled by agencies a few years ago to develop flash sites have now reverted back to more easily crawled platforms.
Flash is pretty but not search engine friendly.

try to open my site using your cellphone
Let me make this clear, my full flash website is perfectly NOT SEO friendly ..
but what caused it to be that SEO Friendly, that is because of the HTML .. Currently I have submitted a blog post in regard to this case study (how to make a full flash website SEO friendly), looking forward to it

You're right... also, your sitelinks are displayed differently within the search results - similar to how Google used to display them here in the US a while ago. It appears Google has not rolled out a full feature set to your geographic area via Google Webmaster Tools yet.
Your site is also heavily flash-based, which Google doesn't do a good job when parsing navigation and content (although they 'say' they're getting better, I've not seen any real improvement). Looks like you are also dynamically rendering page content based on IP address which adds more complexity for search engine bots (multiple languages on the same page is far less desirable than a ccTLD or at the very least, a separate file path for different language content).
Most webmasters have moved away from developing sites fully in flash, preferring to use flash elements where appropriate, instead. You may want to consider developing a non-flash version of your site for google to index more fully.

Let me give you an example
http://www.google.co.id/search?q=ikt
The search result for my site (ikt.co.id) is ranked first, and have additional sitelinks (4 links, for about, news , etc)
But because my site is extremely new I still dont have the access to Sitelink under 'Site Configuration' on my Google Webmaster
That is what I am trying to say that this configuration will not always be available to all
Here is the message i've got
"Google has not generated any sitelinks for your site. Sitelinks are completely automated, and we show them only if we think they'll be useful to the user. If your site's structure doesn't allow our algorithms to find good sitelinks, or we don't think that the sitelinks are relevant to the user's query, we won't show them. However, we are always working to improve how we find and display sitelinks."
Which is quite false, because google has indeed generate a Sitelink for my site but the configuration is not available to me (webmaster) yet
-
Sitelinks are primarily available to Brands or branded searches. Also, info architecture can make a huge difference depending on how easily Google can crawl your site. I've also found that CTR appears to be well correlated to which nav items get picked up as a sitelink.
-
AND the Sitelinks is not ALWAYS available to all
-
You can manage your sitelinks in Google Webmaster Tools under 'Site Configuration' and then 'Sitelinks' - you have a choice of up to 8 sitelinks that you can block or show in the SERPS.
-
Great, Thanks. it says that it's automated, but has anyone found a way to have a link stand out to google saying, "use me to be a sitelink"?
-
These are called sitelinks and Google derives them from your site navigation. From Google Webmaster Tools Help:
"The links shown below some sites in our search results, called sitelinks, are meant to help users navigate your site. Our systems analyze the link structure of your site to find shortcuts that will save users time and allow them to quickly find the information they're looking for."

Ranking #1 but Bounce Rate is 90%?!
Hi Mozers, We have a page that's ranking #1 for several very high volume queries but the bounce rate is 90%. It's puzzling that the page is ranking so well even though the bounce rate is exceedingly high. The algorithm takes user engagement metrics into account so you would think that it those metrics would push the page down. Having said that, the page does have lots of backlinks. So maybe it's ranking despite the fact that people are clicking out? Does anyone have an idea? Thanks, Yael

HTTPS Update - 1 Category Dropped Out of Google
Hi We updated to HTTPs last week, we haven't had any major issues and most categories on the site are OK, apart from one. We have completely dropped out of ranking in Google at all for our Dollies section: https://www.key.co.uk/en/key/dollies-load-movers-door-skates We've always ranked well on the first page for a number of keywords, now we're out of the top 100 - I am trying to hunt for an issue but I can't seem to find one. Can anyone advise? Thanks 🙂

Reporting Webspam to Google
We are in ecommerce, and there are a few review sites that are dominating the rankings for our products. The sites are very good - very well written content (2000+ words) and visually appealing sites. The 2 main culprits are clearly black hat. One site's backlinks are pure spam, and the other is buying footer and sidebar links. Will ratting them to Google have any impact? If not, any suggestions on how to compete? Our competing pages are product descriptions, and creating a 2000 word product description seems inappropriate. Also, all of these products are brand new, and due to extensive media spends, the search volume is very high. Since they are beating us to the punch by getting good content posted first, they are proving difficult to displace.

Google Rankings Are Dancing What To Do?
I was been ranking on page no.3 for many of my keywords. Suddenly they all dropped to Page No.9& Page no.10. Now 10 days back one of my keyword got back to page no.4 & now suddenly today it went back to page no.9 again. I haven't done any changes to the site. My page speed is less than 4secs. Checked everything & all seems fine. No errors or manual actions notification in Webmaster too. Should i wait for the rankings dance to get over or should i start doing something. Currently i am planning to get fresh pages with good content added to the website for the whole month of July. Suggest me what to do?

Does including your site in Google News (and Google) Alerts helps with SEO?
Based on the following article http://homebusiness.about.com/od/yourbusinesswebsite/a/google-alerts.htm in order to check if you are included you need to run site:domain.com and click the news search tab. If you are not there then... I ran the test on MOZ and got no results which surprised me. Next step according to :https://support.google.com/news/publisher/answer/40787?hl=en#ts=3179198 is to submit your site for inclusion. Should I? Will it help? P.S.

How do you rank in the "brands for:" section in Google's search results ?
There's a "brands for:" section that appears above the first organic listing for certain search queries. For example, if you search for "dedicated servers" in Google, you will see that a "brands for:" appears. How do you get listed there? Thanks, Brian
