First of all, I just want to say thanks to the guys who took the time to read, and reply to my last post, I really appreciate it. Here is my question. I'm not too experienced in the linking department yet... so here's what I'm wondering. I'm curious to know how I should link my pages together on my website. It is a ticket website, where I sell tickets to all sports, concert, and theater events. Here is what I have
1) A main page (index)
2). Category pages ( Baseball Basketball, Hockey, Football, Concerts etc)
3). Corresponding pages i.e (All the baseball teams, basketball teams, hockey teams, football teams, bands coming in concert)
I'm just curious on how I should link them together internally to each other. Is there a specific way to link them to achieve the best results? Sorry for the long post. I'm just desperately trying to figure this out! Any help would be appreciated! THanks guys! if you want to look at the website for an idea, you can go to www.ticketlocator.com Thanks again
The quick suggestion would be to structure the site around your major categories, build your links in a hiearchical fashion, and use keyword-based linkage when it makes sense. Strike a balance between a flat structure with many links per page and a deep hierarchy with few links per page but many layers.
One of the challenges you'll have is getting into the SERPs for team-related searches with so many dedicated sites on the same topic. Some targeted external linkage might help with this.
