Depth of your site

When planning the structure of your site, you will certainly want to organize it into folders and subfolders in order to make is easy to manage. Consider that different spiders have different limits as to how deep they will go into a site. A good rule of thumb is no more than 2 or 3 levels deep.

Interconnecting Pages

Regardless of how your site is organized, your pages shoould link to one another as much as possible. Besides just menu links, put links to connect your pages in your paragraph text. Wherever your content references a subject that is covered on another page, be sure to link to that page. More links connecting your pages to one another can really help your ranking.

Small Sites

Some sites are just small. If this is the case with your site, you are at a huge disadvantage. Try to find a way to beef up your site as much as possible with more pages. It will go a long way.
