Does jumping from a menu to a landing page hurt Site-Indexing?
Not sure where to ask this...
On mobile, does it hurt SEO if a user jumps to a sub-section from a menu?
For example, let's say that I have this structure... (see screenshot)
Security
- By Section
- By Topic
- By Content-Format
From a search engine (and SEO) standpoint, is it better to...
1.) Eliminate the sub-section above, and just take people to a "Security" landing page, and then from there offer ways to navigate to the sub-sections?
2.) Keep the structure above, and if a user chose "- By Section" then take them to a "Security by Section" landing page?
My concern is that my "site map" and "site structure" might somehow get lost by allowing people to just directly to a nested layer of my website, VERSUS, having then navigate like the olden days when you start on the Home Page, then you click on a link and drill down ONE LEVEL, and then on that landing page, you click on another link and drill down to a SECOND LEVEL, and so on and so forth.
Hope that makes sense?!

A friendly place for developers to meet other devs, ask questions, get help, and just have a good time 🙂.
