Aside from hitting the 6 month blogging mark, Google has finally given my blog sitelinks for my blog’s name: Mixed Market Arts.
While this may seem like a lame reason to post because there is nothing special about ranking for your website’s name, but it is a little more than that. Sitelinks are an automated feature of Google’s algorithm that gives a website an authority status for a specified keyword. This means that unless I do something extremely stupid, there is no reason I should ever stop ranking for that name. This also means that Google is now giving my domain, with my newly acquired pagerank 5, a good amount of trust in the eyes of the search engine, which should be later reflected across every page of the site. In simple terms, sitelinks are basically Google reminding you that you are slowly but surely growing into a ranking powerhouse, and that there is no denying that you are the only one who should rank for that term.
So now that I am an “authority listing” for Mixed Market Arts keyword, I will move onto “MixedMarketArts” and then later “Collin LaHay,” and ultimately, “Website Marketing Strategies.”
Congrats bro!! I hope to have sitelinks when I hit the 6 month mark… you’re setting the bar pretty high!
Great job, and congrats. I have noticed this on a few search queries, but to have it done so quickly is cool.
Nicely done! We can now “respect your authoooriiitaaaaiii”
I still however don’t get what triggers Google to think they need to give website x an authority status.
great work Collin
make sure to setup your google webmaster tools, also add redundant navigation (contextual) in the footer of your site… Or so I read
No, that’s awesome! I would brag about that for hours, haha. That’s really incredible to see you have sitelink this early in the marketing process. Congratulations!
I am sure i too would get my sitelinks very soon, seeing my own efforts with SEO and backlinks to my blog
Btw Congrats!
I logged into my Google webmasters account yesterday and noticed that Google generated sitelinks for my site, yet they’re not visible live on the search engine results - even when searching for my exact site name. Any idea why this is? Or what triggers them to actually be displayed on the search engine? Thanks.
I am not sure why, but I have seen it for a few other bloggers in the last few months. Just keep writing + building content and you will get them in due time.
Thanks for your response…and forgot to say - congrats!
WOW good work Collin,Hope You get the authority for your name too!! Good luck
Thanks for the heads up in connection with the Site links. Well done, we all wish for this.
Congratulations, how you did that
just wonder how goolge decide the terms listed there?
Yeah how did you do that. I always wondered why some sites get it and others don’t. It really gives your site authority. Much higher click through rate, and you can plan your landing page optimisation.
Content + link building + time.

One of my blogs just got its first site links this week. They are only showing up when a search is done for the URL or for the main website Title!
Congrats on your accomplishment!
Awesome result! you must did a lot of effort for your site!!! cool
Congratulation, Collin. It’s a belated one but better late than never,….
Also, thanks for a great website.
Congrats Colin. I must say that it must be real satisfying to see all the link building paying off. I wonder why you are targeting mixedmarketarts apart from the fact it is your domain name. Would it not be better to rank for a highly searched term?
Depends on your goal.
Eventually I plan to rank for tons of huge keywords just from domain authority (like wikipedia).
Wow congrats, I know that this is an older post but I just saw it. Does sitelinks just come as your PR and trust go up? Or is it a combination of things you can do?
Age, links, authority, PR… but mostly time.
