Maximizing site linking
Introduction.To create a fully meshed website, you need to interlink all of your pages. If you have a large website (e.g. over 75 pages), you will need to establish some sort of heirararchy. For smaller sites, it’s not always necessary.Linking patterns.Let's create a sample website with the following pages:Page A: home page Page B: contact us Page C: category pages Page D: product 1 page Linking Strategy 1.Suppose you created a basic link structure. It looks like this:A links to B and B links to A A links to C and C links to A C links to D and D links to C A / \ B C --D This link structure does NOT share linking power effectively among the pages. There needs to be improvement. Linking Strategy 2.A better way, to arrange link structure, looks like this:A links to B and B links to A A links to C and C links to A B links to C and C links to B C links to D and D links to C A / \ B--C-–D The only change is connecting B and C to each other. It’s better. However, not the best. Ideal Linking Strategy.Looking at the previous link structure, it still does not provide maximum linking power. Let's bring D into the loop.A links to B and B links to A A links to C and C links to A A links to D and D links to A B links to C and C links to B B links to D and D links to B C links to D and D links to C A -- B ¦ X ¦ C -- D Conclusion.You now have a fully meshed site. It effectively distributes linking power between all pages. This way, it doesn't matter where the spider comes into your website. Everything is one level away.Xanga Myspace LiveJournal | free pics images | free My space Backrounds |
