    Sitelinks are links to a site's interior pages. Not all sites have sitelinks. Google generates these links automatically, but you can remove sitelinks you don't want.

    You can - they're entirely influenced on your on-site and off-site SEO partnership.

    You can also block ones you don't want showing through the webmaster tools.

    Hope this helps!

    Having well-structured, intuitive menu/navigation system is half the battle

    In fairness that might be a bit of short/vague answer. I know what you mean but a well structured, intuitive menu is a bit broad : intuitive for users isn't necessarily intuitive for Browsers.

    Some tips to avoid:
    Sites that use graphical text instead of real text in the navigation, navigation buried in flash or 1/2 dimensional site navigation will all struggle to establish Site Links. I think - and am open to correction - that age or at least persistence of links - contributes -i.e. Google is selecting links with a long life span.

    Tips to do:
    Google seems to recognise common patterns - again this is observational and could change - like "About Us", "Contact Us", "Store" etc.
