Search Engine Result Placement(SERP)

[modpluz]

Hello all, please i need information on how the result depicted below can be achieved(on Google and other SEs).

as you can see in the first result, the links are broken down into;

Business
World
Entertainment
Politics

etc...

Is this some sponsored result or does it have anything to do with indexing(SEO)

Thanks

Sitelinks are given to sites that are seen as authoritative for a particular keyword or keyword phrase, the algorithm to determine this is obviously secret, however it will go down to consistent and authority backlinks coming from reputable websites over a time scale of at least a year and of of course dominating the No1 spot for the particular keyword / keyword phrase for a period of time, therefore it has nothing to do with SEO.

Nice to see another IM or SEO guy on the forum .
