Silo Your wordpress site

27th March, 2011 - Posted by admin - No Comments

I’m working on what this is and more importantly WHY would this help generate traffic.

I’ve found some great resources for diagrams and even a place where you can have access to specific wordpress themes that are optimized to set up as a silo site.

My current understanding is the purpose of setting up a site using this method is so that there is no difficulty in search engines knowing what your site is about. It does this by limiting what links are on a particular page. So instead of a home where anyone can link to any link off that page either through the sidebar widget or a the footer links or page archives – there is only ONE link on that page at the bottom that takes you to another specific page on that same site.

So my question is WHY do silo sites work?

Why does controlling your page juice help?

I know by being able to formulate this question its just a matter of time before this information comes. So its great practice at inquiry without negative backlash in my head – not feeling stupid because I don’t know the answer yet since the power comes from being able to see the question.

So here’s my question for this week – what is it that a silo formated site brings in terms of value that make it worth the effort to set it up?
