Links under Meta Description when performing a search

[frnprz]

Doing research for clients, I have came across seeing sites displaying hyperlinks underneath their own meta description. keywords that I have googled that result with hyperlinks displaying under meta descriptions:

Google'd:

iacquire (brand)

bmw wheels (Beyern Wheels, position 1)

aftermarket bmw wheels (MMR Wheels, position 2)

These companys have hyperlinks underneath their descriptions. Anyone have any ideas why this happens or how it happens?

Hey,

These are actually called one-line sitelinks (also known as mini sitelinks), and have been documented on the Google Webmaster Blog here: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.ro/2009/04/one-line-sitelinks.html

Basically, they're a more condensed (up to 4)  form of the normal sitelinks, and can appear for results other than the first result. Google uses them to show users other pages on that site related to their search term. Like the normal sitelinks, you can't really control when they show up.

Hope this helps, cheers!

Yep!Thanks.

Just to add to Mihai's response, you can always delete the sitelinks from the GWT if there are some irrelevant links showing up for your website.
