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."

Google Search Results...
I'm trying to download every google search results for my company site:company.com. The limit I can get is 100. I tried using seoquake but I can only get to 100. The reason for this? I would like to see what are the pages indexed. www pages, and subdomain pages should only make up 7,000 but search results are 23,000. I would like to see what the others are in the 23,000. Any advice how to go about this? I can individually check subdomains site:www.company.com and site:static.company.com, but I don't know all the subdomains. Anyone cracked this? I tried using a scrapper tool but it was only able to retrieve 200.

Rankings disappeared since Penguin 2.1 - course of action?
One of my sites that has always ranked 1st page on main keyphrases is now between pages 4 and 10 on them, I'm guessing it's been hit by Penguin 2.1. Can anyone offer advice? Here's the link profile: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/links?site=www.hgoodwin.com Any advice greatly appreciated. UPDATE - Open Site Explorer only shows 95 links. I've checked my links in Google Webmaster Tools, and there are a lot more - 717! The vast majority I don't recognise and look dodgy. How could that happen, and what's the best course of action - is disavow the way to go? I don't even want to click some of those links. Best Regards, Stephen

Google Phone Numbers
What process is performed to get a company's phone number to show as "A" on google maps. Google displays the phone number for the company on the map as "A" first. It would be beneficial to get that position. Is there a sub-category of seo that does this? Thanks in advance!

Single, high ranking pank disappears from Google?
Hi all, The question I have concerns a high ranking page on my site that has disappeared from Google. It was in the top 5 for the target keyword and it currently ranks 3 on Bing. I recently migrated my domain (one month ago), but it seems to have gone very well. No other pages have taken a hit like this. The 301 redirect is in place and working well. I've used the Moz Tools to see if anything is weird, but it all looks fine. Oh, and yes, I did check Google Webmaster Tools - no messages and other related pages on my site are ranking on the second and third pages for the terms. Also, the site is consulting services - nothing dodgy. Any ideas? Why just this one page? What are my options? Thanks for any advice you may have. John
