: Setting up site links for a one-page scrolling site: Can anchored links be used? I redesigned a website as a one-page scrolling site but now the sitelinks that appeared in Google search results

@Berumen354

I have used multiple paralax and single paged WordPress themes over the years.

Using anchor text to link to the content from the menu is definitely the way to do it properly.

When it comes to indexing the content separately you would want to have a page created, dedicated and optimized for that specific content. Hopefully the content is elaborate..

On the main page of the website use excerpts of the content from the various pages you would like to highlight, then link to those pages from within the excerpt on the main (home) page.

There are some specific themes that can assist with this: for example, if you're using Genesis framework they have a series of widgets for use on your front page for featured page or featured post(s).

Alternately there are several plugins that will offer you similar functionality within your website: wordpress.org/plugins/tags/featured-page

It's likely google won't index sections of one page as separate entries in search results as it could provide a rather poor user experience.

I definitely wouldn't want to use google to search for something, only to find that I'm clicking on the same website over and over again and appearing only in different sections on the same page.

It's more likely that users would search for something then enter a link and read the page from top to bottom while skimming sections they don't want to see. Those users would not like to click on a link with different text that takes them to the same site again after reading it the first time.

If you want your links indexed, you need to make them as separate pages with unique content.
