As Google is supposedly not recognizing PR anymore it’s important to use other criteria for assessing whether or not a previously.

Nate’s post is a good guide.

I have a reputable friend, Bill Angelos, who sells domains for your PBN that are high PA/DA.

Check out his site http://www.highpadomains.com  You’ll find him very reasonable.

Hi Darren,

so far this is only on my landlord site.

I agree with you Matt – keep it simple.

Cecilia I learned a lot about silos by just looking at the SLL structure with their categories and tags.  That just made so much sense to me.

They are obviously successful with that simple way of doing things – so I copied it.  And it worked for me!

Cheers!

thanks Matt =)

You know..that picture..made me think of Plinko!

There should be a silo plugin named plinko. =)

Don’t sweat the details. There is no “one” silo that is correct. There are many silo strategies that work just fine. Try and think about it this way. You’ve got a straight line with an arrow on the end of it. That line is moving through your site. Where do I want that arrow to end up at? The path of that line is the link juice flow. That is the…[Read more]

emediaukcom you are correct. A silo built correctly will require far less links. It’s just about seeing how the link juice flows through the site and where it ends up. Proper internal linking will help you control that.

Matt

Thank you Susannah! Sounds great!

I’m trying to decide on a silo structure right now.

There is SeoZen, there is the silo structure from mass page creator, there is the siloplugin something or other from theme zoom, there is the silo plugin from Page One Plugin…

Hi,

Cecilia Im not in the USA either, I’m in Australia.  I have built a client site that targets one region in one state of Australia and it’s about 4 months old.  The site is an e-commerce site and had less than 20 pages.  It’s a very thin market and as I had done only 3 local backlinks I decided to test the silo + towns + keywords co…[Read more]

Bryan,

How many pages have you built? What did you use to build them..

Thanks,

Backlinks are not always backlinks. That being said, 1000 comment backlinks will not perform as well as say 10 backlinks from 10 domains with high domain authority. I’ll choose the 10 backlinks any day. So to the core of your question if backlinks will help, yes, of course they will. If you have good backlinks and you point them to the right…[Read more]

Daniel,

Backlinks are not needed with SSL.

However if you want to do some just the main page and then 2,3 or 4 ir more than enough.

Your right the size of the site and the silos mean that backlinks are really not necessary.

Thanks for the help guys. I have been experimenting.

So, I filled in my first name, last name, and just the website url. It worked and my test site did overlay. That’s good. However, I can see having the url and logo box there being confusing for folks. So, maybe we could put a small “Or enter” in between those input fields. I almost would be…[Read more]

Thanks Matt! Good explanation

Google just loves huge sites. They do. They really love them when they are neatly organized, structured and easily categorized. Can you do a Geo targeted site for only 25 towns and do well with it? Sure you can. From my experience with say a site that has 25 or less pages, I have always had to do some pin point linking to the site to get it to…[Read more]

Yes I experienced the same thing but I think its because I used google.com as a test. They might have some kind of script that blocks it for security issues. When tried other urls it worked just fine. I suspect you did the same test…
