Website Siloing..best practice?

[Total_Displays]

Hi all

I am doing some research this week on the effects of siloing a Magento site. We have about 1,654 pages with approx 1,400 products. We want to silo the website in order to address the internal linking issues and to also focus the customer journey in a more organised way.

I need to report all of the possible angles and effects that this will have on the site, prior to implementing it. Does anyone have info on best practice for siloing?

I'd appreciate any help...

Thanks

Nick

I dont think siloing works anymore.  You can certainly push link juice around on your site, but siloing is not the best patter.

This link ha a simple explaination of how link juice flows

Hi Alan

The reasons behind siloing go beyond SEO but we are seeking to get benefits from the re-structure in an SEO sense. WOuld you suggest another tact?
