Does the way my website has been designed or structured affect search engine ranking?
The structure of your website does not necessarily affect ranking directly, but it can affect how thoroughly your website is spidered. You should have a clear navigation system throughout the website and make sure each page is linked to at least once, to ensure the search engine spiders can get to your entire site. A sitemap also speeds up the process of spidering. GCW can check out your website for Web Crawler Convenience Compliance to make sure that your website complies with search engine friendly guidelines.
