Many SEO firms, to this day, believe that SEO is about content and links. While the importance of content and links cannot be undermined, a site’s architecture is equally important in achieving SEO compliance. There are many aspects that make for search friendly site architecture. With search engine algorithms becoming increasingly complex, it is no longer enough to achieve basic SEO compliance.
