Google Sitelinks is another service provided by Google like Google Adwords, Google Analytics, Google Adsense, Gmail and much more. Google Sitelinks are a collection of links that appear below the result of a website. They are randomly and automatically chosen by Google's algorithm.
Sitelinks is a great service, however, they appear only for the general search teams and they usually won't appear for searches that consist of two to four words. Google seems to use the first level links on a website for the Sitelinks. It means that all links that are not present on the homepage of a website won't be used as Sitelinks. Moreover, the links should be text links or image links with a descriptive IMG ALT attribute. JavaScript or Flash links are not considered for Sitelinks.
