Whats Does Your Website Floor Plan Look Like?

When it comes to websites I like to look at them just like houses. I love analogies and I got a question earlier that kind of made me think of this analogy.

If you were to design your own house, that's what I want to do, you are going to need to make sure there is a room for everything you have or plan to have. You got your bedrooms, your kitchens, your bathrooms, garage. Then you get to choose how you get to all the rooms, aka your floor plan!

A website is just about the same way, except it doesn't have the same room designations.

When you have a website, you should have it organized a certain way, your way, its your site. Just like a real house, rooms can change, certain things can be shoved in with other ones, you can move any of your content into different categories on your website.

When you create a new page/post, you get to choose where it goes, or if it just gets stuffed in with the other ones that didn't really get put away properly.

The floor plan I created is just an example:

In your front door, you will arrive either from advertisements or from SEO. From there you will find a room (Page) of posts with low hanging fruit keywords, you can also go into another room (Page) that is full of videos that has to do with the main theme of your home (Your Niche).

Your video room or your low hanging fruit posts room can both have guides (Links) to the back of your home (website) where they will find your product reviews of a product you happened to mention in your video or post rooms.

The main idea of having an amazing house, is to show it off to as many people as possible, the more they see, the more trust they develop and will most likely return. Your review pages will have more guides (Links) that will safely get them from your home (website) to the store where they can buy your recommendation (Your Affiliate Site).

There is also a backdoor that has a transporter, that really anyone can use, but you want to make sure the search engines know about it.

In the back door should be your sitemap, it leads to any room in the house. Search Engines don't really care about visiting too much, but just seeing what's new in your house, make sure they feel welcomed, but don't annoy them!

There is one thing that is much nicer about creating a website, compared to a house, you can edit your website a lot faster and organize it however you want. You can add new rooms with new guides, you can delete rooms, move your posts to another room. Its all fun because it is yours!

If you are lost in your website, or new to building, that's what WA is all about, learning and creating websites with your own floorplan because it is your Website! Never give up on your website!

What do you think of this analogy? I think it makes it simpler! :)
