I want to show a sitemap in google's search result. Like - when you search for "cnet" in google, it shows the result of www.cnet.com with a sitemap of some links. something like this-

I want to do this for my site too. my site is celebratinglifebd.com. I have added/varified the site to google webmaster central. I have generated a xml sitemap and successfully added to google webmaster central(http://www.celebratinglifebd.com/sitemap.xml). it shows empty for "URLs in web index". everything seems okay, but it is not showing the sitemap in search result. I am searching with "celebrating life" and it comes up in 1st page at number 8. i have generated the sitemap from - http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/.
