Site Structure & Internal Linking in SEO: Why It’s Important
Update Without Moving Pages
If the site you are working with isn’t a new build but rather something that has age then you want to tread lightly when making updates to site structure.
One of the first things a lot of people like to do is change up the physical URL of a page and move where the page is located within the site’s subdirectories.
This is incredibly dangerous and can have a huge negative impact on SEO.
While a redirect can solve this issue it is not the most efficient way to create a better site structure.
Redirects take the efficiency of the flow of equity from both external and internal links.
