Site Architecture

Architecture decides whether readers and search engines can tell what each page is for. These guides cover review hubs, internal links and payment pages, built market by market.

Google's reviews system mainly evaluates review content page by page, but on sites with a lot of review content it may evaluate any content within the site. Structure is how you keep every page useful: one job per page, one market per review, and links that follow the reader's next question.

Questions

What is the most common architecture mistake on affiliate sites?

Repeating the same explanations and lists on many pages, so no page has a clear job. Explain each concept once and link to it.

Should markets have separate sections?

Yes, where licenses, terms or rules differ, which is usually the case for gambling products.

Where should the methodology live?

On one standards page, linked from every hub and review in its first screen.
