Site Structure For Seo

[mark higgins]

Hi

I build a lot of service oriented websites quite a lot are front page on google

I am trying to understand SEO Better so I can build better structured sites.

But finding it diffucult to find straight forward answers

The main product pages are one directory deep
Which are the important pages

Structure would be

www.grantieworktopshull
www.www.grantieworktopshull/marble/marbleworktops.htm
www.www.grantieworktopshull/Quartz/Quartsworktops.htm
www.www.grantieworktopshull/granite/Graniteworktops.htm


The about us contact us ect are in the root domain
ie www.grantieworktopshull/contactus.html

Should I No follow nonimportant pages or place them deeper within the structure
does the fact of having an extra key word in the url structure outway the fact that the important pages are now one level deeper to facilitate the extra key word in url path

sorry about all these questions

re page order of elements
Most pre purchsed joomla template Place the menu structure as the first item with in the
Body tag of the page-

Would it be better to place the main content first in the body tag an then use css to
manipute the top and side menu positions - this would meen rolling my own templates
something I can do but would rather not if it as minimal seo advantages

Entry Points
I usualy point two links to important pages from the home page is this ok

Home Page
I Try if I can to optimise the home page for one key phrase the most important product
on the site and then optimise all the product pages for there key phrase

Or Should I try to optimise the Home equal for each product or just the most important product

Revolving content - No used this on any live Site yet
Have Written a component that can serve up random content
Ie you can write as many front page verations as you like and will show them at random
each time you hit the site - is this black hat

Have done this as a module - No used this on any live Site yet
So you can have an Html Snippet on the site with revolving content
Would just having a paragrah at the bottom or the sides still be ok

Cross linking component
I Have over 100 hundred sites I Hve built that are the same industry so revelavant
each site as a directory which links to all the other sites.
I have constructed this so I only have to add the link to one site and it propergates through to all the other sites this is done with php - so all the directorys display on the sites as Pure HTML. Not Ajax

Is this Black hat or acceptable as the site are 100% relevant to each other


I thnk I Have concentrated a little too much on programing and graphic presentation
and need now to concentrate on the SEO aspects of web site building

Google had made the algorithms more tuffer for SEO because of competition so you have to be very careful before making a new a site.
