By looking at the work from an SEO collegue it became clear that his weak linkbuilding graph probably is not the cause for his good rankings for a pretty competitive keyword. (also no social mentions where found)

I was wondering what it could be, site structure and other on page optimization factors seems to be ok and I don't think there will be exceptionally good or bad user behavior...

Finally I looked at the competitors and found that they have more links, better content en better design, so I got a little stuck.

The only reason I can think of is that he is doing 301 redirects (or is rel=canonical tags). Is there a way to trace these redirects back to the source in order to include this important variable in your competitor research?

thnx

Hi all,

The online marketing manager requested to make a tree-like map of the website. He means that he would like to see a graphical representation of the website and his contents. This way we will be able to see if there are internal link issues.

The problem is that there are thousands of pages and many subdomains, manual labour would make this a very tedious task.

If you would get this question, how would you try to solve this? Any software recommendation?
