Structure of a Website

The structure of the web site must be both logical and natural for visitors to your site and “crawlers” of search engines (these are programs that scan your site and collect information about them, which help your site in the process of insertion in search engines.)

Imagine the structure of the site as a bookstore. Let’s say “Adventures” is the theme of Book store. Books are divided by subject (artistic, scientific, fantastic…). Topics of Books are the main pages of your site. The subjects themselves are also grouped into themes of Adventures. Now imagine the books are not grouped thematically and what if than someone wants to find a particular book. Difficult task!

The structure of the web site is exactly as arranged bookstore. We can divide this process in three levels. The structure of the site begins at Home, which will call Level 1. Home page has links to (5-15) pages of Level 2 - these are the mains in your topic. Each page of Level 2 has links to 5-10 pages of Level 3. Only pages of Level 2 are available from the menu on the site and pages from Level 3 are available through links at Level 2.

By creating such a structure site, you make access to its content easy and logical. Visitors to your site will find this structure very easy and fast way to reach the specific topic they want.

Tips for good structure of web site:

1. Creating a site is a process and not the case for one night. Take your time, do a few options. Create pages in a natural way, I mean naturally lead readers from page to page. Search engines do not like many new pages suddenly because this like spam and this is generally done by the normal conduct of a person who writes articles or have auto content scripts. Make it clear that the more natural is the structure of your site, the more love you get by search engines.

2. The structure of your site is an investment in the future and we’ll be operated repeatedly.

3. The structure of the site is linked to the behavior of people. If they find any easy searching and if they walk around the site page after page, it’s good for you (especially if visitors to the site have installed Google toolbar, which monitor their behavior). The longer people are on your site, the more likely there is to spend money on them - to make the sale, to click on your ads.

4. Good structure of the site may help you more quickly to get links to your site because link builders quickly will see a site that may be useful for their audience.

These are some important tips that everyone must follow, not only for the better rankings but also for attracting visitors. Remember “First impression is last impression”.
