Links below linking (not sitelinks)
-
Hi All,
Please can you let me know the name and / or point me at an article / blog / directory on how best to achieve additional links under a search engine listing (I don't mean site links) e.g. I do a search for 'home insurance' on Google.co.uk and under the listing for Compare the Market it has - home insurance, building insurance and landlords insurance.
Thanks for your help!

Well first off those are technically called "sitelinks," although granted they are an abbreviated version of what we are more used to when googling a brand by it's domain.
The answer to how to get them is simple and hard all at once: Obtain the number 1 ranking spot. Period. There's no magical method otherwise. Of course you need to have your GWT account working and have sitelinks active (Google your domain like I said to make sure they're working) but from there it is really just about traffic and SERP placement.
It's basically Google's method of trying to get people to what they want faster, so if they perceive that site as being popular, it's coded correctly, ranks high and gets a ton of traffic they will start adding sitelinks to get people to the more popular pages more quickly.
Sorry to say there won't be an answer other than improving ranking.

Disavowing Links: Over-optimized Anchor Text
If a site has been effected by Penguin, and the main issue is over-optimized anchor text. Would the disavow file take care of this? If there is a no-follow added to the link when Google next crawls the site, wouldn't you still have the optimized anchor text in your profile?

How to set up internal linking with subcategories?
I'm building a new website and am setting up internal link structure with subcategories and hoping to do so with best Seo practices in mind. When linking to a subcategory's main page, would I make the internal link www.xxx.com/fishing/ or www.xxx.com/fishing/index.html or does it matter? I'm just trying to avoid duplicate content I guess, if Google saw each page as a separate page. Any other cautions when using subdirectories in my navigation?

Link in my blog to external pages - no follow?
Hi everyone. I'm quite new to SEO (started 6 months ago, but I'm very lucky to work the company that is willing to pay while I'm learning). I also create some content for the website - I write wood flooring industry blog. Following some advise from few SEO experts around the world whom I follow I have decided to write 1-2 off topic blogs/month but I have found the way of writing off topic but in reality bringing together wood flooring industry and let's say fashion industry. My question is - if I want to link to one or two pages (let's say bug fashion brands) shall I use no-follow link? I do not want to harm my website or theirs. Can those type of posts be the part of building my position within my industry and in general, building authority of my website? Of course appart from getting links TO my website. Tom
