Focusing on Site Structure

Metro's Texas SEO has been restructuring its site in order to better organize for content management plus to help search engines to understand our content and purpose. Many sites that are small just use the root directory for their few pages, however, once sites start to gain many pages it is often advantageous to develop folders with relevant pages to include.

Similar pages can be put into a folder with the general topical name so owners, other authors and search engines may easily understand the structure of the site and relevant folders that sometimes may hold dozens of pages. Web sites with thousands of pages may have hundreds of folders that are named with date structures or themed strategies.

Site structure can be a strategy put to pencil and paper in order to properly categorize the site. The next step would be to start an .htaccess file if one has not been created already. Then to start using 301 redirects to convey to search engines that the page has been moved to another named folder. This should avoid 404 error messages that the page no loner exists.

Metro's Texas SEO has undergone a thorough site structure change that will be allow to categorically add content to relevant folders providing a more adaptable way to add content and keep it manageable, leading to bit better productivity wondering what in the world to do with fresh content; simply drop pages into the root directory or better yet categorizing it.
