Googles Now Giving More Power To Ranked #1?
-
Not sure if this has been discussed before, but if you make certain searches in google i.e. "sports authority" you will find that the site ranked #1 has extra links below it like a "library" into their site. How do you get this "library" to appear on your site when your site is in #1?

The short answer to that question is that you can't make a flash site 'fully' SEO friendly. That's why so many companies that were counseled by agencies a few years ago to develop flash sites have now reverted back to more easily crawled platforms.
Flash is pretty but not search engine friendly.

try to open my site using your cellphone
Let me make this clear, my full flash website is perfectly NOT SEO friendly ..
but what caused it to be that SEO Friendly, that is because of the HTML .. Currently I have submitted a blog post in regard to this case study (how to make a full flash website SEO friendly), looking forward to it

You're right... also, your sitelinks are displayed differently within the search results - similar to how Google used to display them here in the US a while ago. It appears Google has not rolled out a full feature set to your geographic area via Google Webmaster Tools yet.
Your site is also heavily flash-based, which Google doesn't do a good job when parsing navigation and content (although they 'say' they're getting better, I've not seen any real improvement). Looks like you are also dynamically rendering page content based on IP address which adds more complexity for search engine bots (multiple languages on the same page is far less desirable than a ccTLD or at the very least, a separate file path for different language content).
Most webmasters have moved away from developing sites fully in flash, preferring to use flash elements where appropriate, instead. You may want to consider developing a non-flash version of your site for google to index more fully.

Let me give you an example
http://www.google.co.id/search?q=ikt
The search result for my site (ikt.co.id) is ranked first, and have additional sitelinks (4 links, for about, news , etc)
But because my site is extremely new I still dont have the access to Sitelink under 'Site Configuration' on my Google Webmaster
That is what I am trying to say that this configuration will not always be available to all
Here is the message i've got
"Google has not generated any sitelinks for your site. Sitelinks are completely automated, and we show them only if we think they'll be useful to the user. If your site's structure doesn't allow our algorithms to find good sitelinks, or we don't think that the sitelinks are relevant to the user's query, we won't show them. However, we are always working to improve how we find and display sitelinks."
Which is quite false, because google has indeed generate a Sitelink for my site but the configuration is not available to me (webmaster) yet
-
Sitelinks are primarily available to Brands or branded searches. Also, info architecture can make a huge difference depending on how easily Google can crawl your site. I've also found that CTR appears to be well correlated to which nav items get picked up as a sitelink.
-
AND the Sitelinks is not ALWAYS available to all
-
You can manage your sitelinks in Google Webmaster Tools under 'Site Configuration' and then 'Sitelinks' - you have a choice of up to 8 sitelinks that you can block or show in the SERPS.

Great, Thanks. it says that it's automated, but has anyone found a way to have a link stand out to google saying, "use me to be a sitelink"?
-
These are called sitelinks and Google derives them from your site navigation. From Google Webmaster Tools Help:
"The links shown below some sites in our search results, called sitelinks, are meant to help users navigate your site. Our systems analyze the link structure of your site to find shortcuts that will save users time and allow them to quickly find the information they're looking for."

Ranking #1 in Bing & DuckDuckGo, not at all for Google - where am I going wrong?
According to the Moz rank checking tool, my blog ranks in the top 3 for my name "James Crowley" on Bing, Yahoo (both in the US and UK), and also DuckDuckGo (though Moz can't tell me that). And yet doesn't rank anywhere for Google. I don't have any penalties, and for other keywords it appears fine on Google. Does this seem strange to you? Am I going wrong somewhere? The blog is https://www.jamescrowley.net/. Many thanks James Nq5uF2al.png

Home Page Disappears From Google - But Rest of Site Still Ranked
As title suggests we are running into a serious issue of the home page disapearing from Google search results whilst the rest of the site still remains. We search for it naturally cannot find a trace, then use a "site:" command in Google and still the home page does not come up. We go into web masters and inspect the home page and even Google states that the page is indexable. We then run the "Request Indexing" and the site comes back on Google. This is having a damaging affect and we would like to understand why this issue is happening. Please note this is not happening on just one of our sites but has happened to three which are all located on the same server. One of our brand which has the issue is: www.henweekends.co.uk

Keyword Ranking Fluctuations
Hi Guys I am currently working on a website where one of the keyword targets is fluctuating. The keyword is fluctuating between page 2 and page 5. What makes this strange is that we are not experiencing the issue with any other keyword targets. They are all ranking fine. It is only 1 keyword. The keyword target happens to be the main homepage keyword target - not sure if this makes a difference? The homepage targets 2 keyword e.g. Business Offices & Accessories. The homepage ranks perfectly fine for e.g. Business Accessories but is fluctuating for e.g. Business Offices! Very strange. What makes it even stranger - the keyword variations of the fluctuating keyword e.g. office for business - these variations are all fine and not fluctuating. Its only 1 keyword. If anyone has any ideas or feedback that would be great! Thanks, Duncan

Now that Google will be indexing Twitter, are Twitter backlinks likely to effect website rank in the SERPs?
About a year (or 2) ago, Matt Cutts said that Twitter and FB have no effect on website rank, in part because Google can't get to the content. Now that Google will be indexing Twitter (again), do we expect that links in twitter posts will be useful backlinks for improving SERP rank?

Ranking stuck
Hello, I have a client with whom we are doing all the "right" things. We have a blog we add relevant content to once a week, we post on facebook, google+, twitter. We have stumbleupon and tumblr links. We have nice high pr links from local non-profits whom we sponsor for charity events. We are in the local citation sites and have 5 real reviews (working on more) But we are stuck anywhere from page 4 to page 2 for most of our keywords, which are all insurance related in the Gainesville area. I would love to hear some fresh ideas! http://dukeinsuranceagency.com , thanks!!

I have a .com site but I am only ranking good on google for Canada and not the USA.
We are located in Canada but sell our products world wide. We are ranking ok on google.ca but are not in the top 50 on google.com. Is it due to my ip address? Is there any tips that you can give me to help up my rating for google.com. Any info you can provide me with will be amazing. Thanks,

What Gives????
I am looking at two different sites. Blueskyscrubs.com and ScrubsandBeyond.com. out of the two sites scrubsandbeyond is performing so much better, probably six times better. I am just curious if there is anything that sticks out as to why. Blueskyscrubs has a lot more and seemingly higher quality links. There are nearly 2000 domains linking into them while scrubsandbeyond only has around 500. The links they do have don't seem to be that great either. I don't see a huge difference in their on-page SEO either. So if anybody has any ideas or sees something obvious I am not seeing I would love to hear from you.
