Indexing.bio
The indexing, structure and deep-linking rules for the ronarn content network.

Content Architecture · Cross-Network Indexing

How content is organised, discovered and connected across the network.

Indexing.bio defines the structure, categorisation rules and cross-linking patterns that make every ronarn site clear, predictable and easy to navigate — for readers, search engines and affiliate funnels.

  • Stable URL strategy across all properties.
  • Cross-site linking rules that improve clarity and SEO.
  • Unified naming conventions and folder structure.
  • Standard section layout for ingredient & product pages.

Indexing.bio works together with Standards.bio and Guides.bio to define structure, style and navigation.

1. URL Structure & Stability Rules

URLs across the network follow a predictable, minimalist rule set:

  • Use short, descriptive slugs (e.g., /privacy.html, /acne-scars.html).
  • No unnecessary folders unless a topic has 5+ subpages.
  • Use hyphens, never underscores.
  • Never change a URL unless absolutely necessary.
  • Redirects must always be 301 and permanent when restructuring.

This ensures that search engines never lose context and deep links from other domains never break.

2. Cross-Site Linking Patterns

Every educational site links upward to:

  • a comparison hub (e.g., AcneHeals.com)
  • governance domains (Disclosure.bio, Terms.bio, etc.)

Every comparison site links downward to:

  • its matching ingredient or education domain
  • the global policy network

This creates a clean “hub → spoke → hub” cycle for both SEO and UX.

3. Naming Conventions Across the Network

All ingredient-based education sites follow a consistent naming theme:

  • Retinol.bio
  • Niacinamide.bio
  • Hyaluronic.bio
  • Acne.bio

And each has a corresponding comparison domain (e.g., Retynol.com, Niacinimide.com, Hylaronic.com, AcneHeals.com).

4. Standard Content Layout

Ingredient/education pages follow this mandatory order:

  1. Hero intro (purpose + scope)
  2. 101 section
  3. How it works
  4. Routine or usage
  5. Mistakes / warnings
  6. FAQ
  7. CTA to comparison hub

Comparison pages follow a similar but product-focused structure with tables, routines, FAQ, and disclaimers.

5. Internal Indexing Rules

Each domain must include:

  • a clear site-header with nav anchors or cross-links
  • a consistent breadcrumb model (optional, only if 5+ subpages)
  • a footer that connects to all governance domains
  • a canonical URL matching the root domain

All pages must be linkable, indexable and crawl-friendly.

6. Where Indexing.bio Fits in the Framework

Indexing.bio is the “map” of the network, defining:

  • site hierarchy
  • interlinking logic
  • file structure expectations
  • how governance pages sit above all properties

It is the architectural layer powering consistency across ~40+ domains.
