Hi,
Just wondered if anyone had any advice or tips on deep linking?
I've got several departments where to get to the individual SPP it involves about 3 or 4 clicks. These pages are not really showing up very well in the google searches and are certainly not getting any PR.
For instance, someone wanting Boltardy Beetroot Seeds, landing on the home page would need to navigate to Seeds>Vegetable Seeds>Beetroot Seeds and then select the Boltardy Beetroot Seeds SPP, to reach http://www.thegardensuperstore.co.uk...lls-11723.html.
Whilst I do realise that this is a number of clicks, it does make perfect sense (to me) to list it this way. I think that Google though doesn't like driling down so far.
I didn't want to elevate say Vegetable Seeds to the main menu, shown on the LHS of the home page, as I have a number of other sub-depts that would also need to be elevated. If I did do this I think the results would be better for SEO but just too cluttered and confusing for users, arriving at the home page.
My one thought, other than writing articles on each of these hundreds of products, was to create a new Brochure Page, as these seem to get indexed well and usually pull up a PR of 2, and almost create a site index, which would place these deeper products at just two clicks away from the home page. I could perhaps instead of just producing a page of links to the whole site, add a couple of lines of text next to each link. It does seem a bit of a clumsy way of doing it, as I did see that there seems to be issues with xml sitemaps, but I'm struggling to think of another way to elevate these deeper pages and sub-depts.
I'd be grateful for any advice or if anyone else has had such experience?
Many thanks,
Dan
