Click Depth & Canonicalization: Are They Google Ranking Factors?
Click depth is the number of clicks it takes to go from a homepage to another page on a website.
And, Canonicalization refers to a process for converting data that has more than one possible representation into a “standard”, “normal”, or canonical form.
Search Engine Journal has published two articles titled Click Depth: Is It a Google Ranking Factor? and Canonicalization: Is It a Google Ranking Factor? to help marketers understand the importance of these two factors in SEO.
SEJ’s Miranda Miller says, “Click depth is the number of clicks it takes to go from a homepage to another page on a website.
We can assign numerical values to the different pages on a site, based on their distance from the homepage.
The homepage can be assigned 0. Any pages linked on the homepage have a depth value of 1. Any links on a 1 page will have a value of 2. Any links on a 2 page will be a 3, and so on.”
