Links hovering at the bottom of a search result
-
Hey folks,
Curious has to the how and why there are links at the bottom of this search query for "Justin Bieber Networth" for other celebrities, completely unrelated i.e. "harry styles, taylor swift" etc.

Is this an SEO tool? How did they embed this into a search query? Thanks!

Agreed, they are mini sitelinks. Official Google release here.
Most importantly, as Dr Pete pointed out, "Just like regular sitelinks, one-line sitelinks are generated algorithmically and the decisions on when to show them and which links to display are entirely based on the expected benefit to users."

You can add sitelinks in AdWords, but not for organic. In Webmaster Tools (Search Console), you can only tell Google to block sitelinks you don't want.

These look like mini-sitelinks, and not breadcrumb links (since I'm not seeing any breadcrumb links on the site). Unfortunately, mini-sitelinks, just like regular sitelinks (that appear in full size under a #1 result) are both a bit beyond your control. It comes down to some calculation of authority and relevance.
Unfortunately, I'm not seeing it on any current SERPs for that site, and I'm not finding those links in the actual URL (I suspect they rotate or have changed), so it's a bit tough to pin down. These links are very query-dependent, so they can come and go from day-to-day and query-to-query.

You can add this in Adwords.

Hi there
I am not seeing it in my results, but I want to say it's one of the following:
Sitelinks
Breadcrumbs (schema)
Site searchI want to say (again, without being sure) that this may be a mix of structured data and good site architecture that helps crawlers connect popular pages that fall within the same categories.
Again, totally guessing, but that's my thought process. Maybe someone will provide the answer shortly!
I would definitely look into the sources above though! Good luck!

Google "special" results for "top" products
Hi all, When we search for top tools or software like "top cms systems", we can see Google listing some companies in boxes. What these results are called? I know search snippets are different. Any idea on what basis Google is listing them? I couldn't able to give you screenshot as imgur failed to upload image. Thanks

Nofolow links drive to losing ranking
Hello there,
Algorithm Updates | | Goran024
I am an owner of mobilnishop website. We selling mobile phones. As you know , new phones coming every few days and they starting to be old after 1-2 years. So I decided to all pages which present old (discontinued) phones make them "noindex". I this way I meant to to focus google on new pages ( for new phones). After 1 year I find a huge losing trafic and key word position on goole. For example, word :
"mobilni telefoni " from 2 place I move to 11. So what I find out is that I LOST LINK JUICE. Is it possible that google does not see given link of my noindex pages? It look that I made auto goal.
Any opinion? Suggest ?0 -

Has anyone used Capterra and will I get penalized for paid links?
Hello - I'm contemplating buying a directory listing on the software promotion website http://www.capterra.com/ . It's a site that gets quite a bit of traffic for people searching for software products and I was interested in promoting my software product there, but I don't want to ruin our very good standing with Google at this time if Google deems Capterra as selling paid links. I'm not interested in this for links but instead as a good source of referral traffic for my software site. If anyone has used Capterra or has advice on whether Capterra might injure my SERP rankings, I would appreciate it. Thanks, Jeff

Do search engines penalize for too many domain aliases?
I have a main domain name and 20+ related alias domains pointing to it. Is there a danger, penalty or concern that I should be aware of related to alias domains? I saw something on Google "Apps Administration" under "What is a domain alias" saying "you can add up to 20 domian aliases" but I don't use Google Apps. Please advise... Thank you, Chris

Location and how it affects search results
I'm ranking in the top 3 for a keyword in Google but when I change my location to a state of city I'm at the bottom of the page. Can anyone help? I made sure that the state I want to rank for is both in my title and body. The page has been up for almost a year and is a PR3. It is not my home page but a sup page under "areas we serve." I'm looking for someone who can explain how I can optimize for a state or city. Thanks
