One of the real challenges when you are maintaining a web site is to
ensure that all your pages are linked together and that there are no
broken links. Nothing is more frustrating to a visitor, at least this
visitor, when they click on a link and get a "Page Not Found" error.
Conversely, nothing is more challenging to the developer of a
moderate to large size web site than keeping all the pages linked
together.
By the way, one of the things it's valuable to do, from a search
engine optimization (SEO) perspective is to have all your sub pages link
to your main page. This will give your home page higher page rank. I'll
tell you more about that in a minute.
Here is a tool I've found that will help you build your site and,
the best part is it's free! Dirhhtml will generate links to
all your pages in your site. You can download a free copy here:
DirHtml
The structure I
use is to set up folders with general topics that relate to my main
topic or goal. I build pages that relate to that general topic and store
them in the folder. Using dirhtml I have it create and index page in
each folder and an index page in the root of the site that points
to each of the index pages in the sub-folders.
Each of the pages in the sub-folders have a link to the main
Index.htm page in the root folder. This maximizes the the Page
Rank of the home page. |
