Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks man. See, that's the "gist" I've been getting from reading about this elsewhere as well. It appears that complicating things by adding subfolders is unnecessary, unless one operates a big online sales platform with large inventories.

I will go with the solution you suggested.

I agree with you, in that most people wouldn't want to read 30 articles. All articles are related to consumer loans, but they vary when it comes to the "sub-subject" if I can use that term. I think I'll have to refine these silos to a more granular level.

Been thinking of only putting the best moneypages together in one block, and then pick new tier layers according to importance and visitor stats.

Thanks for the input.

Been trying to find an answer to this for some time, so I hope someone can lend me a hand..

I've started building out my casino website Nerdybet, which will list regulated gaming vendors within each US state. A part of the idea  is to create a high level web directory of legal betting sites.

Now, say I want to list all legal casinos within a specific US state. What's the most search engine friendly way to build out the hierarchy?

To clarify, this will be the main casino directory page: https://www.nerdybet.com/gambling-sites-directory

Based on that, I can now pick either:

a) Nerdybet.com/gambling-sites-directory/stateX
b)Nerdybet.com/stateX

Which method would you say is best? And why so?

Thank you.

As they point out, you should use Google Ads Keyword Planner. Best of luck.

Hi folks.

I own a Norwegian consumer loan/financing website, which has been monetized with links.

I've created various silos for my content, according to what I believe is most relevant to the user.
However, as a result each article now has a sidebar list, which in turn links to all other articles within the same category (silo). As you can see here, it has about 30 links in the sidebar: forbrukslån.no/beste-lån.

With 30 articles in a silo, that corresponds to over 900 internal links, in just one silo alone.

I wonder if this could be hurting me SEO wise? I know G cares a lot about relevance and user experience. So I have a feeling it could be interpreted as spammy.

Reason I did this in the first place, is that the header links are also being repeated on all pages, without any issue.
