Since is Pagerank related to Sitelinks? PageRank that is displayed on the toolbar is not the best indicator of your true PageRank, especially for newer sites....

Whatever the reason for your sitelinks addition, well done Andy. You fully deserve it, along with any additional traffic it may bring.

Congrats to Maki too - another excellent blog author.

Andy, i am a problogger from Brazil, have a blog about cars for some 2 years, but my actual domain is only 1 1/2 year old. It is PR4 and i already have site links. My blog is the one i inserted in the URL field, and you can see my site links searching for "noticias automotivas".

I have some low PR sites(PR 3-4) with sitelinks before, so i dont think PR has someting to do with sitelinks. I believe in site authority and trust rank anyway and get a lot of backlinks from relevant authority sites would help a lot.

I too was surprised to see that my blog got sitelinks along with my pagerank decrease.

I have a couple of ideas about how/why sitelinks might be given for a particular search/ site.

A) You really have to own the search (as was mentioned above by Tomaz)

B) There has to be a significant number of searches for that term.

I'd assume andybeard.eu has no problem owning the search for "Andy Beard" or "andybeard", also I'd bet you see a decent number of referrals from searches for "andy beard". Yes?

Regarding that odd Google bug -- "O - A. I." (not spelled out to make it easier to study in G) was one of the commenters on that page. I find this a really intersting quirk -- if we could nail down what may have gone wrong it may give us more insight into how sitelinks operate.

I've studied the link profile for O's blog and the links to that particular page of yours and I am really scratching my head on this one.

Somehow I think it has something to do with the two links from the comment heading to a blogspot blog... Google's spiders might get a little drunk when they stumble onto their own properties. :-)

Another interesting thing here is that Google reordered "O - A I" to "A I O". Quirky.

I wonder how many psychologists Google has on staff. They do a very good job of keeping conversations focused on them and keeping everyone guessing- so their brand remains strong no matter what happens. It's sad that they have so much control over the blogosphere (and indeed so much of the web, but my main concern is blogs).

I have to laugh at Jason Clark though. I think we'd do better with soothe sayers than experts. LOL

Maybe Page Rank simply means nothing anymore. Google just wants to publish something hoping to confuse link sellers and make them over pay or under pay.

I just checked our site. We recently got levelled from a 7,6,5 to 4 and we got some great sitelinks now:

Including a link to Register on our site!

One thing I have never figured out is what happened to our existence in Google "did you mean". It always used to catch misspellings however now (for the query above) it will still suggest "woodwork" :(

Guess you can't have everything!

Sorry for the double post, I couldn't resist. It took me jsut 5 minutes to find another PR4 site with sitelinks. Maybe it isn't that uncommon after all? This time it's a real estate site with a state-level focus. However, the domain is pretty old so I still think hitting the sitelinks level in 1 year is worth noting.

Sitelinks for PR5 sites is actually quite common. I just checked three past client sites that are PR 5 and two of them continue to have sitelinks. However, like you, I've never seen them on a PR4 site before. Kudos!
