How Website Architecture
and Navigation Affect SEO

If you've been following me for any length of time, you know that my SEO mantra is to always make your website the best it can be. While it would be great if you only had to worry about making your website great for your users, it's also important to make it as usable as possible for the search engines.

Make Billing Painless in 2013 with FreshBooks



As discussed in my last article about technical SEO issues, it's crucial to be sure that you have no server errors on your site. But there are other technical issues that relate to your website navigation and how you set up your overall site architecture.

What Is Site Architecture?
Site architecture is the way every page of your website is linked to every other page. It's the way people and search engines navigate your website, and it's equally important to both of them. You want both people and search engines to be able to easily find what they're looking for. Believe it or not, a poor site architecture can completely kill off rankings, traffic and even conversions. The reasons for this are many. First, if there's no way for a search engine to access much of the content of a site because the only way to reach the "meat" is through search forms that need to be submitted, search engines won't find or index most of it.

In fact, I recently had a client with a real-life example of this - an e-commerce site that sold a certain type of car part. The home page was basically just a search form where users had to enter the make and model of their car before they could browse for the products they were looking for. While a person can certainly do that, search engines typically don't. In the end, there were no static product pages for the search engines to find and index. So it was next to impossible for this site to show up in the search results if someone was looking for a specific product such as "Mini Cooper brake pads."

How to Build an Audience on Facebook That Actually Cares About Your Success

By Tina Courtney-Brown (c) 2013

We've all learned by now that a gaggle of Facebook friends and 'likes' does not equal a rocket ship of monster profit boosters. In fact, for many, a social media fanbase lacks the ability to quantify, and can, therefore, can feel like much ado about nothing. The truth is, if you don't have a Facebook audience that actually wants to interact with your content, you've wasted your efforts. Likes are meaningless without the genuine desire to support your company. So how do you build legions of engaged social media consumers? With consistency, perceived value, dedication and a little bit of good luck. We can't help you with the last must-have, but we demystify the first three below…

Chinese Apple Fans Not Impressed by Newest iPhone Models: Report

By Megan Abraham (c) 2013

Apple is losing its lustre in the Chinese market. That's the latest report to circulate around the Internet, just days after the iPhone maker introduced its iPhone 5C and 5S models. In a market saturated with alternatives to the iPhone through companies like Samsung, the Chinese are looking for new technology - something they say Apple has dropped the ball on. "I have lots of Apple products, yet my complaint about the iPhone is it lacks innovation," said student Liu Guanlin in a Vancouver Sun report. "I can't see major breakthroughs in the latest models, which is disappointing." In fact, the Chinese hardly blinked an eye when the new models were announced, according to…

He managed to reinvent the business world and he won the planet over with his astounding products, innovative designs and cutting-edge technologies.
