"Jump to" Links in Google, how do you get them?

[JohnPeters]

I have just seen yoast.com results in Google and noticed that nearly all the indexed pages show a "Jump to" link

So instead of showing the full URL under the title tag, it shows these type of links

yoast.com › SEO
yoast.com › Social Media
yoast.com › Analytics

With the SEO, Social Media and Analytics all being clickable.

How has he achieved this? And is it something to try and incorporate in my sites?

This is done using anchor links within the page source. More information:

Hi Luis,

Thanks for the links. I have seen these pages which give me some baisc understanding.

I was wondering more about how he achieves this in wordpress. Is there anything technical needed to be done in a theme or a plugin.

I have a similar site structure to his, but I am not seeing the jump links

If you check out his site, I am sure theres more going on with the internal links and permalinks.

Ive noticed that yoast.com › SEO shows up for multiple pages shown in the serps.

What you should do is:

There are a few things you can do to increase the chances that they might appear on your pages. First, ensure that long, multi-topic pages on your site are well-structured and broken into distinct logical sections. Second, ensure that each section has an associated anchor with a descriptive name (i.e., not just "Section 2.1"), and that your page includes a "table of contents" which links to the individual anchors.

Maybe the question is: how to create these internal links?

This goes in the table of contents

Anchor Text

This is in the section:

Section 1 Title

Yoast SEO plugin now achieves this in my wp theme. Happy times
