How does this review site do this?

It looks like a wordpress blog (or maybe not) but what I am wondering is how they are able to put all the folders in eg "reviews", "income-for-life-secrets", and the last one which is the actual post.

I thought maybe they are installing a new wordpress for each review that they do, but then the whole blog interacts with itself eg; the recent posts.

Or is this just a theme that can do this?

Any insight would be helpful

    It's just categories and setting up the permalinks with /%category%/%postname%/

      Yeah - what Sonomacats said. Looks like they are using parent/child categories (or in more understandable terms, categories and sub-categories)
      "reviews/income-for-life-secrets/income-for-life-secrets-review-income-for-life-secrets-bonus"

      reviews - category
      income-for-life-secrets - sub-category
      income-for-life-secrets-review-income-for-life-secrets-bonus - overly key-word enhanced title.
      :rolleyes:

      All done with the simple "setting up the permalinks with /%category%/%postname%/"

    Thanks for your replies.

    Something else that is interesting is that the posting title becomes the actual name for the site, and changes for each review he (or she) does. eg:

    INCOME FOR LIFE SECRETS Review

    I would guess that is some sort of plugin?

      Are you talking about the title tag - in the top left of your browser window? That's done with a plugin. Either Platinum SEO will do it, and I imagine All in One SEO will, too. So will Thesis (paid theme) without a plugin.

    No not the page title tag, but the title of the post that is right above the part that reads:
    "DON'T Buy Any Internet Markating Products UNTIL You've Read Our Reviews."

    That's in the header tagline - it's on all the pages. Some themes display taglines, most don't - but it's easy to add.

    I'm don't think that's what I'm after. If you click "INCOME FOR LIFE SECRETS Review" it takes you to the home page of the blog, and if you click a different review, then that blog title changes to that review you clicked on.

    Sniper - I see what you're saying. The blog's title actually changes to match the title of the single post page. I'm not sure whether they're using a plug-in to do this or not but you could do an if/else statement in the php code to accomplish the same. Something along the lines of 'if is single post page, blog title=post title, else blog title=blog title' (no one tease me about my superior coding skills...or lack thereof).

    It may be a strategy they use for on-site SEO. Some recommend that you modify your WP php to do if/else statements for posts and pages so that the blog title is wrapped in H1 tags on the home page but in H2 tags on single posts and pages and that single post titles and page titles be wrapped in H1 tags on their individual pages - a practice I follow religiously. It's almost as if they simply eliminated the blog title completely on individual posts and pages instead.

    The effect is probably the same, SEO-wise and perhaps the blog title is not keyword rich so no use in including it on the page. Not sure what the branding impacts would be of having your blog title different on each page, though. Maybe it doesn't matter to them.

    Never seen that before. Interesting.
