File Structure For Silo

When siloing (is there such a word?) a site is it important to have the files
in a silo structure, or just how the pages are linked together?

Working on a site that will have a number of categories and sub categories and while I have seen drawings and understand the basic concept am unsure if the files are
mysite. com/golf/golf-clubs/small-golf-clubs ?
Or should they be mysite. com/golf => mysite.com/golf-clubs => mysite. com/small-golf-clubs


Thanks.

    I first used a silo type site organization with xsitepro using subpages (before I ever heard of "silo") as an experiment, and it does produce a good site that can get google's attention.

    • It's not just how the pages link together, you need to put the files in the folder giving your site a hierarchy.

      When Xsitepro 2 siloes my site it puts the files in a folder and then creates a submenu automatically where specified so when you click on one of those files in the subfolder it has a menu with all of the files in there.

      Hope that helps, if you're confused check out Xsitepro 2 or Semiologic both have Siloed site design options. To be frank though I'm not entirely convinced it's worth your time as non siloed sites seem to do just as well IMHO.

  • It is both. Relevant topics in relevant directories and links back to the homepage. Also be careful how you internal link.
