      I was curious how certain sites have links under their rich snippet texts? is it from google authorship?

        found it. it deals with the sitemap. It's auto generated. I also think it deals with search result and a high CTR.

          I thought this was about micro-formats and schema.org content but after some looking around I'm not sure now. There doesn't seem to be a consensus on how those links appear, but I haven't been able to find anyone discussing it after 2006 or so. This was the best writeup I could find:

          http://www.seobythesea.com/2006/12/googles-listings-of-internal-site-links-for-top-search-results/

          Basically it seems to be that if Google has 'learned' your site thoroughly they'll arbitrarily decide to shove those links in there. The discussions I can find don't really suggest a way to do it, and some express frustration over controlling which links go there. The impression I get though is:

          • Google SiteMaps are probably involved

          • The sub pages are usually linked to heavily

          • The sub pages are usually pretty 'clean', e.g. full of content

          I guess it's comparable to what Google classifies as sub-results when you search for your brand name but other than that it's a mystery to me.

            Internal Linking - Post links vs Side Bar Links behaving differently

            Hi, I have a question regarding the internal linking behavior.  My website is www.hindimeaning.com  which is approx 3 years old. I have approx 450 posts. Now i have a widget on right sidebar "Popular posts". A widget below my posts "Related Posts". And a simple html CSS menu above the posts (I removed menu around 6 month before so currently it will not show.) I crawled my site with moz crawler (same are the result from google crawler as well) and it shows menus links as internal links. While sidebar widget "Popular posts" and "Related Posts" are not showing as internal links. If we talk theoretically what i learn till now is "every link on a page behaves as internal link". Then why the widget links are not showing as internal links. Thanks, Mahesh Kumar

            Should I disavow nofollow links?

            I've found a bunch of nofollow links with the help of Link Detox. Now, should I disavow such links (after contacating site owner directly and unsuccessfuly) or i can just filter my nofollow links and handle dofollow ones only?

            What is a good ratio of total links to linking root domains?

            Is 100 total links for every linking domain too high? I suppose I could also look at ratios of sites that are doing well in the rankings.

            What is keyword rich anchor text?

            So, I have searched around the internet but, I still can't find the answer.What is Keyword Rich Anchor Text? Is it basically just exact matching to the page. For example if my page was www.randonmpage.com would a keyword rich anchor text be randompage? Thanks. Peter

            Does the ratio of external nofollow links to external "do follow" links matter in terms of SERPs ranking?

            My site has an external link nofollow:dofollow ratio of approximately 1:1 That is, there are about as many nofollow external links as "do follow" external links. I have an impression that the ratio of no-follow to "do follow" links is a factor in the way that our website shows up in SERPs. I have the impression from reading a variety of sources, and from looking at Seomoz, that calculate "trust" factors as if they mattered (in SERPs), that seem to value a relatively low nofollow:dofollow ratio. Am I correct about that? Thanks,
            Tim PS - I don't know whether or not this matters, but our website is at: www.trustworthycare.com - Tim

            Does linking to a subdomain give link juice to the main domain?

            I have a few domains that I'm going to use for link building, will the link juice from the sub domains transfer to the main domain?
