If You're Not Using a "SILO" structure in SEO... You Better Start
I've been doing SEO for well over a year and can tell you if you're not doing this it's a huge
disservice. This is how Google creates an idea of what your website is about. When you silo your
site you want to structure it so that the Main topic of the site is the home page. Within that main
topic there are subtopics and that's how you can rank for long tails and more specific keywords.
I would like to share a simple SEO siloing technique for WordPress that you can use to theme
and silo your content to achieve higher search engine rankings. Theming implies creating a
collective series of posts based on a similar semantic node.
How to Theme and Silo Your WordPress Blog
Siloing involves creating a process of selective categorization to create a topical website within a
site to collectively concentrate ranking factor to a specific page (as the apex of the silo). This
apex is the new preferred landing page for the theme / “primary keyword”.
As a preferred page, it should only contain the primary keywords you intend to rank the pages it
links to in the anchor text. For example, a typical category page in a properly optimized e-
commerce site will have a category and then feature brands of that type of product.

Once you select a brand, then all of the makes and models of products from that mfg. are
presented, or should be presented in links to the respective internal faceted pages.
By the webmaster mirroring intent and using modifiers buyers use in combination with the
brand, make or model in the title, h1 tags, contextual content and internal links (from page to
page), a webmaster can create nested pages in that silo that correspond to the most popular
searches.
When you augment the primary category landing page (theme) with a series of semantically
aligned make, model or product pages (using the brand/mfg. name as the primary thread) this
layering of pages create a very distinct type of ranking factor.
This compound effect resulting from the body of documents is a powerful ranking arsenal
against competitors and works like a self-supporting algorithmic daisy chain using the buddy
system to catapult keywords and their respective landing pages in to the spotlight in search
engines.
While the example below is based on a simple theme using 5 siloed posts, you can see how this
could be applied on a larger scale (such as Wikipedia or Amazon) by implementing a few simple
rules in the site architecture, URL / naming conventions and internal links collectively.
How to Easily Implement Siloing

STEP 1: Permalinks
Set up the permalinks using /%category%/%postname%/ in the permalinks settings page using
the custom option.
STEP 2: Category Selection
Create your categories (which should be keywords you want to rank for that have over 2,000,000
competing pages or more. For example, if you wanted to rank for best affiliate programs, then
you would create a category called “best affiliate programs” (then build nested content in the
category as silos) to reinforce the keyword.

Ideally, you would use at least 5 other related or synonymous keywords or keyword variations as
part of the semantic cluster such as:
best paying affiliate programs
top affiliate programs
best affiliate networks
review affiliate programs
best affiliate software
The critical thing is that all of the keywords used for posts under the main category are (a)
related preferably with the shingles (group of words) based on the target phrase using modifiers
and other popular search terms and (b) that each of those pages in the silo all link to the primary
preferred landing page (more on that next).
STEP 3: Create Landing Page and Links
Since WordPress is automatically programmed with pages to take precedence over posts, create a
page named the exact same thing as your category – i.e. “best affiliate programs”. This page will
now override the category (which would have been a cyclical page with the nested posts on it).
Now, as a result of the supporting content in the silo, this new page is a powerful landing page
which you can showcase your primary keyword, the value proposition, sales copy or conversion
objective to facilitate rankings and sales.
Over time, as a result of the internal links from the nested (siloed) pages, the theme (best affiliate
programs) a.k.a the category will start to develop authority as a result of the pooling link flow
bubbling up from the internal “related” pages.
To create continuity you could (1) build links to the internal siloed pages or (2) build links to the
preferred landing page (with the variations of keywords found in the siloed post).
Over time, the landing page will rank for its primary “more competitive” key phrase and any
possible variation that is passing on its ranking credit as a result of being linked within the silos.
Ideally, on the siloed pages, you can create a custom page that omits the primary navigation, this
way it forces the link flow to move a certain way throughout the site (through the contextual
links on the page).
Your website scales relevance while gaining traction as a semantically themed keyword cluster
and using a simple plugin like SEO Ultimate and the Deeplink Juggernaut, you can add autolinks
automatically within content based on any occurrence of a keyword on any page within the silo.
You can download SEO Ultimate from WordPress.

In this instance, any time the word affiliate program is mentioned, you could have it auto-linked
to the preferred landing page.
To summarize, rinse and repeat this up to 15 themes per website and ensure that the silos are at
least 5 posts deep. Make sure you have a new “Page” to create a capstone for the category and
make sure you are building deep links from other websites to augment the pages in the theme or
silo.
The Benefits of Siloing
By cultivating this process deliberately, you can create powerful sites within sites to function as
dynamos that create a specific type of keyword relevance within a website and when connected
with other silos (through the navigation) exponentially devour every possible keyword
combination in sight.
It is important to choose each theme and spoke of the hub (categories and supporting articles)
wisely. Each page becomes a hub page capable of ranking itself and the next, and the next
another page and so on (per infinitum).
Two websites you may be familiar with that share this architecture is (a) Wikipedia and (b)
Amazon, and you can see just how appealing and effective this technique is for information
retrieval algorithms.
This is due to the fact that it mirrors a perfect example of structure and order that search engines
reward. This algorithmic continuity based on semantically overlapping “shingles” i.e. groups of
words, functions like a pyramid with a solid base and streamlined apex.
A theme is a cluster of siloed (nested) pages all based on a similar semantic structure. For
example, instead of mixed marbles, red marbles go in the red column, blue in the blue and
yellow in the yellow column.
Even if variations exist through various modifiers alternative prefixes and relevant suffixes (such
as round, small, solid, swirled, etc.) those modifiers are nested within their respective hierarchy.
While this is an analogy, it conveys the purpose of reinforcing natural relationships as they
occur to create structure out of chaos and in the process becomes a potent source for SEO
ranking power.
As you can see, creating siloed WordPress sites can be tedious and time consuming as there
are many moving parts to consider.
Fortunately, there is a simple and effective way to take advantage of the SEO power of siloing
without having to manually create silo architecture structures for all of your WordPress sites.
