Hi Charles

What I'd like to see would be more examples of real sites built using the plan (but to a larger extent than we've seen so far).

For example, having looked at the animated teeth website, I noticed there was one major difference between that site and what we're taught, and that is that every page had links (at the bottom) to the top page of each silo (which I didn't think we should do). I can see how it's a good example of a silo structure, but it doesn't match it exactly.

I'd like to be able to have a really good look at perhaps some smaller sites using a single silo or plan structure, as well as sites using a larger silo structure.

I think I'm a bit too analytical and like to do things exactly the right way and I'm afraid that I won't Smile

It's probably silly, but there you go...

I hope I'm making some sense here! I'm not a complete novice to building sites, and I feel pretty confident that I could build a site using the Plan and a siloing structure, but I also like to have it well spelled out for me, just in case I'm missing something, or to give me an idea of something I might have missed!

Cheers
Fiona

Hi,

I have a feeling there are different ways and designs
for using silos. [linking structure]

Please map them out and explain why that particular
design is used.

Looking forward to the Master Plan.

Thank you,

Jeremy

Ditto for camtasia presentations and building a site from scratch. Im with Fiona as far as having to have the specific details in place, thats why I liked The Plan so much. I have put a couple of sites together and think I have it pretty well down, but I am sure there are things I could do better and more efficiently.

I find I really get stuff if its presented via Camtasia, the video tutorials you are doing Charles for the article section are a great help. Any video supplements to the Master Plan would be appreciated

It is ok to get really analytical.

About the links at the bottom of the page, even Bruce Clay said that he took calculated risks.

Yoiu will not bleed your theme that much.

Rule of thumb:

The real POWER is in the /SILO/article_name.html

Period.

I discovered a way to make Silos using Xsite pro. And if you can do it in THAT software, you can do it in ANY software.

In theory you could nest websites, within websites using this technique.

The Cabelas model is a good example of that.

Software . . . extremely powerful software . . . is being constructed. Ahem.

Virtual silos and directory silos as Charles has said
have equal ranking power, so not to worry.

This brings up a question Charles, could you explain
in the Master Plan what filenames to use if one wanted
to create a virtual silo.

Thanks,

Jeremy

One more, I read in Bruce Clay's newsletter about
having at least 200 keywords as close to the top in one's
html.

Please explain this in the Master Plan, if this is part of it.

Thanks,

Jeremy

And another:

It would be very helpful to show an example 250 to 300
word article and highlight the primary keyword and the
keywords used to theme the article.

Plus which are the best article directories to submit
our articles to, ones which have a silo structure.

Should there be a section of our site called newest articles,
so past visitors can find our latest articles without having
to dig into our site again. How should this be set-up.
