Sibling linking
Sibling linking is connecting pages within one generated tier to each other, not only to a parent hub.
Why it matters
A flat tier linked only from a paginated index is crawled once. Sibling links make it a connected graph.
How it is measured
Count internal links to the same tier from any tier page. Six or more is a reasonable target.
