Siloing/Sculpting... confusion....

[SteveOllington]

Hiya, I saw that someone asked something similar to this here but I'm wondering if anything has changed.

I've found some stuff exclaiming that siloing is a must, and should always be done. But then I've seen that you guys don't really endorse it, or at least in that Q&A you didn't and I can't find anywhere that you give instruction on the best way to do it, except a tiny bit by Richard Baxter here... and usually you do a lot more with everything that is worthwhile.

So I guess my question is, where do you stand on it? and if you are for it, will Rand do a tutorial on the best way to go about it, with lots of diagrams and stuff at some point?

Thanks,

Steve.

Thanks for the reply. Well, it's more on the siloing side of things that I'm wondering, it's just I noticed on a Bruce Clay article that he says scuplting and siloing are pretty much the same thing with different names... is that not the case?

I understand what to do with siloing (well, I sort of understand it) and I understand why to do it, or at least I understand the reasons given that I've read, but it's cloudy at best.

My question really relates to siloing through themes. I can see how it would be beneficial but only if what I've read is correct... and I don't know that it is. In terms of what have I read, I just Googled "Siloing" and read a bunch of articles on the first couple of pages.

Also, I'm doing the SEMPO Advanced SEO course (which FYI doesn't seem that advanced so far, it should be called the SEMPO Intermediate SEO course really, I was hoping to learn some stuff and this siloing is the first thing I've come across in it that I didn't already know), anyway... the course recommends siloing if you have any content that is not indexable, or not easily indexable (Javascript, Flash, etc...).

I gather there really is no definitive answer as to whether it's something that should be done?
