Website Blueprint
Your website blueprint is the basic structure of your entire website. The blueprint we are going to cover works best with content websites. There are other blueprints for sales websites etc and we cover those in this site also. There isn’t much to the content website blueprint, it consists of three tiers you can add more but three can easily cover a full website.

Each tier consists of Keyword Focused Content Pages. They are represented in the diagram as KCP. Each KCP is built around one or a few keywords, which helps in search engine optimization and tells the
search engines that your site is relevant to the keyword. Higher search rankings mean more free targeted traffic. You will start with your homepage in tier one and then spread your site out in the next two tiers, adding more keyword content pages that are relevant to your niche.

Tier 1

Tier 1 is your homepage this is the page that explains your niche and what you do. The keyword(s) you should be focusing on are usually your seed word or your niche. We will discuss placement of keywords in our search engine optimization articles so please check back. One good tip when making your homepage is you never want to have an outbound link going out of your website on the homepage, for example banner ads the only exception would be for Google AdSense. Why? because it is way to early your visitor doesn’t know you yet and if you send them away they never will. Why is AdSense different? Only because you get paid per click. A banner ad to an affiliate, you might make money and you might not, every click makes money with AdSense. On your home page you will also have link buttons to your tier 2 keyword content pages.

Tier 2

These are the pages were you go more into detail about your theme and you focus on your secondary keywords. If your niche is about making money online then your tier 1 would be about making money online in general. your tier two pages would be making money with Ebay, making money with websites, making money with affiliates and so on. Each of these pages will have content relevant to making money online but more generally the specific topic talked about on the page. Alittle confusing the blueprint picture below should clear some of it up. Tier 2 usually consists of 5 to 15 pages but can be more if you like.

Tier 3

This is where the bulk of your content is. Staying with the making money online theme tier 3 pages can consist of pages like, winning Ebay auctions, SEO, affiliate marketing, how to use Clickbank and so on. Again you can see why tier three is the bulk of your content. In these pages you will focus each page on more relevant keywords for the subject.

The reason this works is because it lets the search engines and visitors know that you have great, relevant, quality content. When a search engine crawls your website for placement, it crawls all of your pages. So if your site concept is about making money online and a searcher types in "affiliate marketing" then your affiliate marketing page will pop up. All of your pages then become doorways to your website not just your homepage.
