Folder Structure

Auto Date Friday, November 11th, 2005

One of the issues we are looking at for the Search and Go special features directory is how information is organised.
Our idea was to catergorize it by subject and keep it this way.
Have you ever been to a directory and all you see is the subject heading lets say ‘Internet’ and under this you get more subject headings ‘web design’ SEO’ ‘e-commerce’ etc. There is no information about each subject. This will be different in Search and Go as we will start each category with it’s own information page that links to informative articles about the subject.
For example and this is just in test period we did a section about luxury cars which will be named Automobiles as you can see by the example if you click on the link.
This then will lead to related pages such as the Luxury Autos  article.

I believe this puts us on the right track, even though we have more extensive testing it will keep information concentrated around subject matter rather than a confusing mess. It also gives visitors more information about a particular subject.

    Hi Vincent
    The parts you have live looks very fresh but a little sterile, how about some colour?
    I also wouldn’t mind a look at where you are testing this :-)

    I do agree that website architecture will play a big role in how you distribute your information, I was reading Seth Godin’s blog http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2005/10/the_next_free_e.html yesterday about Squidoo, can this technology be incorporated into the build?

    From a marketing perspective building each section with informative articles and other such info would help in increasing good serps for each subject.

    BTW: I love the Maserati example you got displayed :-)
