I've been taking advantage of this "parent page" idea, too - seems to work as I've got solid SEO in all of the areas I'm working on. Hopefully as I work on the 'child' pages, the SEO juice gets even greater. Thanks for sharing this informative post.

Great advice, Michael. I think I've done some of this with my flooring pages...I have flooring/carpet/wool-carpeting or something like that.
I think in my blog pages some may have hardwood as one of the parents. I need to check.
BTW, I have been getting over 30,000 unique visitors a month.

Michael- some of this is a bit over my head but much of it is very logical to me. I love that you showed how it works in other porfessions.

I am with Kathy ^^! Way to techie for me but I will bookmark to study later! Thanks for this!
I know this is good, just trying to get a grasp on the details.
Thanks for letting us know.
Your thought process is way above my pay grade and that is why I use consultants.
Bookmarking so my son can read and implement--he's the techie one on our team.
As everyone else has said, this is great stuff! We do not have a Word Press site and our website is a bit more automated. We will be checking to see if we can implement this in any way. Thank you so much!
Michael George - you are so brilliant. I wish you lived next door to me. (Since you are brilliant AND a great chef.) I have always nested, but now will go back and look at permalinks. So, you're saying that if we CHANGE a permalink, we need to redirect the original permalink I think. Got it.

Michael, I love Ed Silva's comment but you've been preaching good silo work for awhile...many thanks for reminding us all...you are the best!!
Michael- great post, great tips. Creating silos is the one of the top tasks you should do to all of your pages. I too, have been a proponant of this technique. Bruce Clay has a great white paper on setting up silos on new and existing sites.

This is a most informative post. I don't have the background to implement these suggestions so if you have any suggestions in that regard, I would like to know.
Michael you always come up with the best tips! I'm not sure how to apply this to my home staging website, but I'll re-read your post about a dozen more times and hopefully I'll figure it out ![]()
Well, I'd assume this should be easy for me - with my technical background. IT seems I am getting old....
This is an area I need to improve on. I appreciate this informative post.
Michael- tha t makes waaay too much sense and is really interesting! I don't think I could implement, but sure will try to figure it out.
Thanks!
Michael, Great heads up on some important changes to implement right away. Thanks for the great detail

Brilliant post! I keep forgetting this small but important SEO basic which you or your wife had shown me before. Hope others see the true benefits here!

How will this impact blog posts to Trulia? I've taken a few re-meshed blogs from to Trulia in the past few days to test the waters. Should I not be doing that, or is it a good thing?
By sharing all this excellent information you've created a lot of questions!~
It seems to me that this structure could be helpful in generating seller leads. Since they do sometimes try to see what is going on in the neighborhood when they thinking about going on the market.

Sounds like trulia was doing it backwards. Compose urls like normal people would type in searches.

Thanks for the comments and compliments. It's not as technical as it seems, I promise (for those that said that.) Especially if you are using WordPress. You would just create one overview page on a certain topic. Then, you'd create a second page (not post) and in the editor, choose the overview page as the parent...which is an option when you are editing.
Kate McQueen, SRS - I don't understand the question; I'm sorry! You've taken blogs from ActiveRain or another Trulia platform? And what does re-mesh mean? Does that mean you took them from one place and moved them to another place? I'm sorry I don't understand!
Joan Whitebook - are you using WordPress?
Thanks for responding! I meant that I've taken a few AR blogs and changed them a bit, then posted them to the Trulia blog.
I've wondered if doing this is a bad thing or a good thing for SEO?
Michael you are always on top of things! Good information and as always I am counting on you to keep us on track
Clearly this is a topic to ponder - I just started following you so that I can continue to learn and improve - thanks so much!
This is a very interesting topic and I especially like your advice because with a little time we can fine tune our sites.
Great information, had to read it twice, and am ready to put into action.
This is good food for thought. I may have to restructure some pages.
