If anyone can help me out here..

Im looking to make a really nice site covering a bunch of topics and making it look pretty would be ideal...


I understand the concept of siloing, but lost at the 3 deep link rule

Im just lost at this part, i see many sites like this for example:

Home & Garden Reviews (2 deep right)

So now we have a silo about home and garden.

so now we are home/silo
2 deep right...?

Now we pick a topic...lets say air conditioners

Best Air Conditioners - Top 3 Air Conditioner Reviews ( are we 2 or 3 deep now ??? :confused

Now are we 2 deep again, or we we considered 3 deep?

i think its 3 deep because we are coming from Home > Silo > Air-conditioner >
but would like to believe its only 2 deep haha.

Which would lead to 4 deep with a supporting article correct? Or am i mistaken.

Just because it isn't in the url doesn't mean its not going 4 deep right? If anyone can chime in and remove the fog from my head.

    Stay away from link schemes like these. Just focus on navigation that works best for your users. If you get a linking opportunity, then just make sure that it gets linked to the appropriate deep link.

    Its 3 levels deep due to some trickery

    They somehow drop the top menu from the navigation once you get deeper into the site

    No ready-made siloing solutions I know of can do that - so its likely that it was custom coded by a web design company specializing in silo site building
