Hierarchical Structure of Website is Impostant to SEO Process

By admin

Before creating your web site, you must first define how the hierarchical structure of your site will look once completed.

The best way to design your hierarchy is to think of it as a family tree. The following is an example of basic web site hierarchy. A web page is considered a Parent page if it has pages under it in the hierarchy. These “sub-pages” are the Child pages.

In addition to their position within the hierarchy, you must also decide what type of content each page will contain. In the example above, you can see that each of the pages has a type associated with it. Some will contain General Content while others will contain Surveys or Site Maps. Page type is important as it defines the structural elements that will be available for that page when creating its content
