AdWords Sitelinks are the extra links Google gives you beneath ads in the premium listings. Google just announced that they’re gonna enforce you sending each link to separate pages.

I think the best use of Sitelinks isn’t the links to extra pages per se. It’s the ability to flesh out your USP in the very limited space available. Example –

1) You could go WIDE – in other words let them know what other things you do:

Become a NYTimes Bestseller – Appear on Oprah – Get an Agent – Free Publicity

Less obvious – 2) you could go DEEP

Speedwriting – Perfect Your Outline – Hire a Writing Coach – Live Workshop

It’s surprising to me how few people take full advantage of Sitelinks. And here’s a third idea. 3) Punch their emotional triggers, Swiss Army Knife Style:

Become a Celeb – Move the Masses – Leave a Legacy – Get Even With Your Ex

That makes you a contrarian, cuz almost nobody does THAT.
