[OC] Visualisierung von Inhaltsbeziehungen: Über 36.000 interne Links auf 500 Webseiten

Data source: Web crawl of a large business website (500 pages, 36,000+ internal links)

Interactive Visualization: https://seolinkmap.com/guest/comptrio/largebiz

Tools: Custom application at seolinkmap.com built with Cytoscape.js and PHP backend for IR metrics processing

This visualization represents website structure as a network graph where:
– Nodes represent individual web pages
– Edges show connections between pages (based on internal links and content relationships)
– Node colors represent relative page importance on a 0-1 scale:
– Blue: Lower relative importance (closer to 0)
– Cyan/Green: Medium importance
– Red: Highest importance (closer to 1)
Using normalized PageRank-style calculations based on internal linking patterns
– Radial hierarchical layout is generated using multiple weighted factors:
– Direct link connections
– Content similarity scores
– Document structure analysis
– Natural language processing of link context

The visualization reveals how complex websites naturally organize into distinct content clusters.
The radial layout emphasizes hierarchical relationships while making dense link patterns visually comprehensible.

Notable patterns:
– Strong central hub showing primary navigation structure
– Distinct orbital clusters representing related content groups
– Color gradients revealing page importance within the site’s ecosystem
– Clear visualization of content silos and their interconnections

Nota Bene:
The legend is an overlay on the website and the nodes have page titles when zoomed in. With this many pages, you cannot see the details and the totality together in one image, but the zoomed out pic is the most beautiful way to take it all in.
