Abstract: Some people believe Google SiteLinks are directly related to XML Sitemaps. They are not, but both are related to Google Webmaster Tools. Navigation:A1 Sitemap Generator - Help Index
SiteLinks are Not Related to XML Sitemaps
Submitting a generated XML sitemap will not guarantee your website gets SiteLinks for relevant search quries,
not even if the XML sitemap is generated by A1 Sitemap Generator.
The reason is that XML Sitemaps and Google SiteLinks are not directly related.
The only connection is Google Webmaster Tools where you among other things can
submit XML sitemaps, and view/block the SiteLinks shown for your website.
How Google Determines SiteLinks and Link Titles
Few people know the actual algorithm Google uses. However, we can guess based on experience and observation.
How a domain gets SiteLinks shown:
Domain has to rank number #1 for the search query.
The domain has to have a high authority for the search query.
It helps if the domain name is similar to the search query.
