Sub Directories
I’m terrible at organization and sadly it spills over to the World Wide Web. After reading a tip about the usefulness of subdirectories for SEO and organization, I am now convinced that taking the time to get everything in its proper place will be worth the effort.
Giving your subfolders relevant names will not only help jog your memory as to the content of the folder but will be indexed by Google for that keyword. Sub directories can be very useful to not only organize your content for your website but to be helpful in search results. Just like the name of the webpage is important for search results, the name of the sub folder is equally important. Naming a folder ‘pets’ that holds pet articles will could potentially increase search traffic and better placement in search results. I write about a lot of games, so I could make a folder for each video game console. This will help to keep images and articles organized, something my websites desperately need.
So, not only can I organize my content by subject but I can possibly help better the search placement of those web pages for those keywords.

Honestly, I avoid sub directories. I try to link each page from main page. it gives better rankings for individual pages.
