When your website is your only business presence it is even more important to ensure that your website is fully optimized. This article is the first in a series discussing aspects of site optimization and what Active Web Group can do to help your site to gain traction in the Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs). One of the aspects of a website that will impact it’s rankings and must be inspected is a site’s link structure.
A website’s url structure is crucial to a website’s performance

A URL string like the above example acts as a stop for a webcrawler and masks any URL of its like on a site. If a webpage cannot be found, it will remain unindexed by search engines and out of the public eye. Other causes for unindexed URLs are improper menu/navigation structure, very deep linking, and unlinked landing pages.
