It’s nice to get news about technology and the Internet that doesn’t “always” have to do with search marketing and website design. Does anyone know why Tech Crunch doesn’t have SiteLinks on the Google result for their brand name even though their Alexa score is 500, they have tons of links and have been around for awhile? See this post for more info. Anyway… [...] [...] As many of my friends and coworkers will already know, I am a Tech Crunch Junkie.

I don't doubt at all that having extra sitelinks on your listing increases CTR. What I'm not sure about it HOW MUCH. Anyone have before and after metrics on this? You know what else would be interesting? Go down the Alexa ranking list and try to find a general cut-off point. For instance, those with rankings over 100,000 generally will not get sitelinks added to their Google listing... I know it won't be perfect, since Google and Alexa track this differently, with different toolbars, different users, etc. But perhaps it could provide a general guideline. Good question Mike.

Thanks for the clean and simple explanation. This might be worth digging into as I am sure CTR is much higher when you have the sitelinks appear for your site. I wonder if anyone is publishing stats about the CTR? Good stuff Everett!
