Sitelinks problem

[Silviu]

Hello,

I have a problem with the sitelinks on my website. Google keeps adding pages that don't belong in the sitelinks, but need to be indexed. Is there a way in which I can specify to the bot which section of the website, not to add in the sitelinks.

Hi Silviu,

You can "Demote" links from appearing in the Sitelinks.

Here is a ref link on google.

Here is a quick answer.

Login to Google Webmasters
Select Domain
Navigate to Search Appearance -> Sitelinks
Enter the URL for the page that shouldn't appear and click the "Demote" button.

*Note Google will only follow this rule for 90 days so you'll have to check it every 3 months to insure everything is working the way you want.

Hope this helps,

Don

I know about the demote, but I was wondering if is any other solution. More like to tell google that the link from an entire section shouldn't be added in the sitelinks

No, there isn't. Google uses whatever she see's fit to improve the user experience, based on the content she associates with your pages.

Nope, unfortunately not. Donford's answer is the only way you can remove those sitelinks without hurting your SEO.

Google wants to provide users with the best possible experience and sometimes this means providing them with links to the strongest/most used parts of your site directly from the SERPs. You can at least take it as a positive that they're showing up!
