How Many Clicks?

The SEO Consultants Directory is currently performing a test on sub-directory depth. This document resides 23 levels (/s/e/o/c/o/n/s/u/l/t/a/n/t/s/d/i/r/e/c/t/o/r/y/) below the root with two internal links; one from the SEO Articles (/articles/) section and the other from the SEO Consultants Directory Sitemap (/directory/), both of these are top level pages. We needed a live example for proof of concept purposes.

/s/e/o/c/o/n/s/u/l/t/a/n/t/s/d/i/r/e/c/t/o/r/y/

Just how many clicks does it take to get to the inside of this sub-directory?

It's all about the Click Path

It is not the directory depth that counts but how many clicks it takes to get to the final destination, referred to as the "Click Path". I'm wondering just how far we can go with sub-directory depth before there are challenges with getting the destination document indexed.

Click Path
The sequence of links that a user and/or User Agent follows to the destination document. Breadcrumb trails "usually" represent the click path that the user clicks in sequence to the final destination.
