信息架构—被忽视的提高搜索营销的最有效的因素之一

信息架构—被忽视的提高搜索营销的最有效的因素之一
     信息架构很可能是被大型网站忽视的最重要的搜索营销战略
     一犯再犯之误
       我曾经重新审视了一些客户的网页,他们的网页对信息架构有一定的帮助。他们中的一些想把他们不太重视的关键词进行排名优化。排名优化的关键是制作有意义的网页导航栏,这些导航栏能使网站定义明确并帮助你确认关键词组。另外,导航栏制作的很差的网页一般来说PR都很差,这也意味着此网站的排名数据和市场回报的关联将分离,网站潜力也难以预见。
       以交换为基点的架构是一种内容形式。同时也是在很多领域小网站同大网站相比最大的优势,现在任何网站都很郑重的将它加载。
       比较下面的材料:
     导航栏质量低下会带来什么?
       一个有质量低的导航栏的网站有以下特点:
       导航栏不协调,混乱不堪,于是蜘蛛很难判读什么网页重要,同时使用者也很难做操作交换过程。
       如果蜘蛛不能正确的对页面进行排名,那么访问者就会进入错误的页面(并且如果用户在错误的点上开始工作,则会在在交换过程操作上遇上大麻烦)。
       很难用PPC购买到好的关键词,因为其他的竞争网页在交换过程操作上做的更好。
       很难用PPC购买到目录层的关键词,因为导航不能正确的指引用户到有意义的内容上去。目录页不应该仅是一些关联链接和无关联的内容群。
       那么目录页该是什么样子呢?不要在上面多加内容、建立信誉,这些东西都是阻碍阅读的不相关的内容。
       如果你的目录页没有经过精确定义和加强的话,网站就不会被中级目录排名收录相关的关键词。
       很多网站的PR都浪费在无关紧要的页面上,像图片页面或者其他的一些地级别内容的页面。    
       既然PR被不正确的分配,结果肯定是大量的不相关市场反馈。相似页面互相复制,以致清理错误时可能导致破坏链接和其他的问题。
       这时网站很难发展或做推广,因为必须重建整个结构、清除所有错误,之后才能在市场上参与竞争。
     质量高的导航栏能带来什么
一个有质量高的导航栏的网站有以下特点:
       整个网站都是符合PR的
       搜索引擎很愿意对最关联的页面进行排名
       很容易对其进行转变
       方便用户使用
       能够建立起用户信用
       比上面的那个网站更容易得到引用(获得免费的超链接)
       因为转变简易,所以能够支付更高的领军型流量(这包含了对市场的领导,即使市场竞争越发激烈)
       目录页添加了内容,并能关联不同的词组。这些都远远超过上面的网站
       文件夹和文件名是符合逻辑的,所以能帮助关联和增加点击率,网站也更容易扩建。
       可以方便的增加临时性的板块内容
       很多网站管理者都希望能和其他没有组合的网站有更多的共同点,其实在市场的大游戏中,越少越好,尤其是那些被完整组合的网站。

Information Architecture is the Most Underrated Component of Effective Search Marketing
A Recurring Error
I have been reviewing some client sites that could use work on the information architecture front. Some of them want to rank for keywords that they do not actively target. The key to ranking is to create meaningful navigation schemes that reinforce the goals of your site and your target keyword phrases. In addition, a site which is improperly categorized due to poor internal navigation does not flow PageRank properly through the site, which means your ranking data and market feedback will be irrelevant / broken and not show your true potential.

Conversion oriented structure is a type of content. It is one of the biggest advantages smaller players have over large players that operate in many fields, and adds to the bottom line of any site that takes it seriously.
Compare the following...
What Happenst to a Site With Bad Internal Navigation?
A piece meal site with hacked up internal navigation exhibits the following characteristics
*      navigation is inconsistent and confusing, thus it is hard for spiders to know what pages are important and it is hard for humans to work their way through the conversion process
*      if the spiders do not rank the correct pages odds are pretty good that the visitors will come into the site on the wrong page (and have a hard time working their way through the conversion process if they start out at the wrong spot)
*      hard to buy broad keywords using PPC because competing sites are better at funneling visitors through the conversion process
*      hard to buy category level keywords using PPC because it is hard to place people on meaningful content if it does not exist. category pages should be more than a link list or groups of irrelevant chunks of content
*      what should be category pages do not add context, build trust, and build credibility - they are essentially placeholders gluing together various unrelated content
*      if you do not have well defined and reinforced category pages the site is not structured to rank for the mid level category related keywords
*      much of the site's PageRank is wasted on unimportant pages such as photo galleries or other low content pages
*      since PageRank is distributed improperly, the market feedback is largely irrelevant
*      has many similar pages that duplicate each other, cleaning up the errors leads to broken links and other problems
*      the site is hard to grow or market because as your category gets more competitive and efficient you first have to restructure the site and undue the errors before you can compete
What Are the Benefits of Good Navigation?
A site with strong internal navigation exhibits the following characteristics
*      properly flows PageRank throughout the site
*      search engines are likely to rank the most relevant page
*      easier to convert
*      is easy for users to move around
*      builds user trust
*      more likely to be referenced in a positive light than a site with broken navigation (gets free editorial links)
*      converts better, so it can afford to pay a higher lead price for traffic (and thus maintain market leadership even as the market gets more competitive)
*      category pages add context and target different relevant word sets than lower level pages
*      folder and filenames are logical so they aid relevancy and clickthrough rate and the site is easy to build out / extend
*      if you ever make errors they are typically far easier to correct
*      easy to promote seasonal specials or currently hot items
Many website owners with unorganized websites think that they just need more of the same, but in a game of market efficiency sometimes less is more, especially if it is better organized.
