    I see it as a good thing for a website as you get more space on the SERP than all the other sites.

    You've really never heard of sitelinks? I find that hard to believe. Isn't POWDR (or is it POWDER now?) all about search?

    Google seems to be serving up sitelinks when Googlebot can find and follow a sitemap. The sitelinks are pretty standard--I think they're useful. In my experience, if Googlebot's automated process discovers a sitemap with sitelinks that point to one another, you have a good prospect of getting the link list displayed on a search for your site.

    @Ciaran - that's why I hire people who are smarter than me ;)

    POWDER is the W3C name for Content Labels. We've named our Firefox extension powdr.

    Hi Paul,

    In answer to why it happened .... a question.

    Question: Who does Google.com see as the "Leading independent authority and provider worldwide of Web Accessibility, Site Certification, Trustmarks and Mobile Testing products and services."

    Answer:  http://segala.com/

    Google has been doing this sites it sees as THE Authority on a subject.

    Very good news for Segala ;)

    Regards,
    Eoin
