New sitelinks - can we control the number?
-
A quick question on Google's new sitelink format. When searching for our brand name (Confetti) Google returns 8 sitelinks for our site. When searching for our domain (confetti.co.uk) Google returns the maximum number of 12 sitelinks.
Is there a quick way (Webmaster Tools for example) to increase the number of sitelinks for our brand name to 12?
Thanks,

Thanks guys,
I guess it's a case of keyword relevancy so I'll have to be happy with just the 8!
Cheers,

I think you're right. There was certainly no way to request them for the old sitelink style and could/can only remove them.
@confettiwedding Is 8 not enough for you
I get 10 appear for [confetti wedding] as well as for my own (2 dictionary word) brands. I imagine that you might actually be getting the max for what it is. In so much as people searching for confetti aren't definitely looking for your site.

Probably not
Webmasters Tools, when talking about sitelinks (Under Site Configuration>>Sitelinks), only gives you a way to demote sitelinks that are appearing which you would prefer not to appear. Conspicuously absent is any way to request certain sitelinks.
(If you find a way, though - let us know!)

New Pages - Stable Rankings
Hello, Not a direct question really, just a poll really of your experience - I work with a few companies and have noticed recently that there seems to be an increase in the time it takes to go from a) showing up in the index (quickly within a day or two) to b) getting a stable ranking. I see spikes over the first few weeks (even up to 3 months) before the rankings eventually settle. Have you noticed the same, is it taking longer to achieve a stable ranking, do you work with any sites that get indexed, rank, and stay in the same slot for moderately competitive terms comparing to a year or tow ago? Interested to hear other people's experience and how long we expect to wait for new content to settle Thanks

Some of my pages are ranking for terms which I want other pages to rank for. What can I do to effectively switch the ranking?
Some of the pages are ranking for terms I have optimised other pages for. The pages which are ranking are quite rightly falling, because they aren't optimised for the terms they're showing for. However, I have pages which are optomised for those terms. How do I switch the SERPS to the page I want?

Number of links in breadcrumb
Does google take the number of links in breadcrumb as a indicator to the depth of the page in the site structure? That will mean that a page with 5 links in the breadcrumb is a page very far away from the index, therefore a less important page.

Can someone please help me identify where all these URLS to my homepage are coming from?
Hi. I installed the SEOmoz toolbar for Firefox, and analyzed my home page, then clicked on 'get a full site analysis at Site Explorer'. This is what came up: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/www.frs-solutions.com%252Fcontent%252Fhome/a!links?src=mb I hope that link works. If not, the URL is www.frs-solutions.com Anyway, there are about 57 different URLS within my site all pointing to my homepage! I have no idea where they are coming from. Can someone with an experienced eye take a quick look and tell me what I might be up against? Thank you!
