I wonder if it happened? Does SILO really help or you just get penalty from google? It looks spammy as hell
 
Why does it look spammy? Actually, it is a much more comprehensible structure than going straight forward to the final URL...
 
SILO structures for website content is actually welcomed by web crawlers. It shows proper site organization. Combine that with pillar posts and pillar pages and you have a great chance at ranking for hundreds of long tail keywords even with a minimum of backlinks.
 
They work better than other strategies and they are easily accepted by web crawlers, so if I were you, I would welcome the idea of using such.
 
Is there a silo theme or plugin for Wordpress? I want to use the silo architecture but I do not have much technical knowledge. (Such as coding)
 
This is what happened when I implemented a silo structure one of my older/smaller sites that I hadn't touched in ages.

can you tell me what exactly silo did u use? There are many variants.....
 
Actually, the SILO approach is a good structured approach to the overall content structure of your site. It offers a better planning approach, so that your content will look neat and related in its respective segments, and it also automatically group similar content together in that aspect.
Such circumstances would also allow the web visitors to easily locate related content on your site, and hence that could lower bounce rate, and further improve user engagement on your site as a whole.
Implementing the approach may not have immediate or direct result, but the benefits from the result can be seen in the long term respectively.
 
I followed the posts from Jayder and Ozzyzig in this thread: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/the-ultimate-guide-to-seo-siloing-dominate-google-in-2018.985967/
I read the post but it is not that clear, he says to put 20 recent posts on the category page, can somebody draw a schema of some sort to better understand this
also do you have to exclude these articles that link back to landing pages from menu? Cause blog page will index them and link to them.

Maybe you need to create only pages and not articles in WP??

See the posts by Jayder later in the thread, he explains it more clearly. (https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/t...te-google-in-2018.985967/page-6#post-10577819)

Yes, I only use pages.

You need to think about your site and how it can be divided up into sections. For my site, I only have one type of product, so I decided to divide it up into brands. Each brand is linked in the top menu.

So my menu is set out like this:

Sony TVs
Panasonic TVs
LG TVs

When I go to Sony TVs, I have 500 words about Sony TVs (I don't care about ranking this page) and then link to all my Sony TV reviews from that page. In my reviews, I only link to other Sony TV reviews and to the Sony TV menu.
 
but does this really help? Can you use same anchor link from all child pages to your targt page* or is that spammy
