Do You have 50,000 article directory?

What is your question? How do you do internal links? wha..?

I think he is asking how to organize the directory?

you have the articles in categories right? so put links to the main categories on the home page, with links to the articles on the internal pages. obviously they would need to be paginated listings, but that's ok for spiders.

If you're talking inbound links to your internal pages, PayPerPost.com is a good solution. Start with your money categories are work down. Its a gradual process with a large site like that.

If you're talking internal link structure, the best methods would be a breadcrumb structure on top, with a tag cloud structure throughout the pages. You have to do it intelligently and w/o looking at the site, it's hard to give you the guidance. But, each category would have it's own tag cloud for all internal pages. Also, you would want to have "10 Recent Articles" per section on your article pages. Lastly, I'd setup a script that auto-generates links within the body of the articles to other articles. Think wikipedia.

Obviously the articles are in their own categories, and authors do use their resource boxes, but I wondered if they was anything else I had to do to help the spiders.
