Big Site' Make the most of it on Google
...... the Index Page was 5/10, a level 2 page on the same site was 4/10 and a level 3 page was 3/10. Presumably pages beyond level 3 are considered so insignificant that the spider has been programmed to ignore them.
In addition the spider was stopping dead at drop down menus and graphic links it could not move beyond. Spiders essentially follow HTML text links and that's about it. If you stick to that rule you won't go too far wrong.
Our challenge was therefore to bring every page, no matter where it was in the site, to a level 3 position at least ' without changing the structure of the site itself, so the spider would index it and the page ranking would be higher. This would give us 520 marketable, optimised pages rather that 126.
The solution was quite simple. A site map ' we simply spent a few hours setting up a site map with a link from the index page ( making the site map level 2) and then an HTML text link to every page on the site, making every page on the site at least level 3.
The next time the site was spidered by Google, there it was, 520 content rich optimised pages and an increase in traffic of 1000%
