I've a website [1.5 years old] with unique brand name, One month ago Google was displaying my site links in search results (when i search my site name).
.............
But today the links has disappeared!
In search console i found "Links to Your Site" :
Total links No data available.
---------------------
If you're asking about any big changes:
No, but my categories + tags ware NOINDEX, and i made them indexed in YOAST plugin 7 days ago.
I NEVER BUILT ANY BACKLINS.
.........................................
Is this bad signal and i lost it forever?
Or just google dance?

    No links in the Search Console is a known bug at the moment:

    As for Sitelinks, there is not a lot you can do except have good navigation structure on the site. If Google no longer display them, then that is the algorithm detecting that displaying them is not useful to the searcher when they searching for that particular keyword.

    It depends on what OP means by sitelinks. Is it regular sitelinks or mega sitelinks?

    Regular sitelinks can be generated from something as simple as on-page jumplinks (example: domain.com/ford-mustang#red-mustang), Wikipedia does this a lot. They can also be genrated by internal links like already mentioned.

    Mega sitelinks are harder to get especially for keywords with SERP competition. This type of sitelink basically works like an SEO silo where you have a webpage that's an authority (example category page). A strong followed backlink profile from both internal links and other domain pages helps in this case.

        You've either lost followed backlinks or you've changed the URLs on your site.

        Either way the URLs/pages that had Mega sitelinks no longer have the same authority.

        BTW, make sure the category pages are still indexed (example: site:domain.com/category-page), some of the wacky folks on IM/SEO forums think they need to noindex category pages (they don't).
