Most of us would be familiar with Google site links (SiteLinks), but the mighty G appears to be toying with a new feature – mini site links.

In case you aren’t familiar with the feature, here’s how standard SiteLinks look:

Site Links are additional links under the domain name offering a direct link to various sections of a site. SiteLinks are automated, but it appears the algorithm for displaying or not displaying them is tied in with site popularity.

Web site owners who have SiteLinks displaying have a small degree of control via Google Webmaster tools in that they can block a particular SiteLink appearing.
