   I find tags super helpful for connecting related content and helping users discover more of my posts
   but I have a question about tags:- is there a way to track which tags are getting clicked the most?

   • WPBeginner Support

     If you are using an analytics plugin on your site, that would give you that information

   Hi, in the article you mentioned all of your new “websites use the modern ‘Post name’ URL structure.”

   But it isn’t stated why.

   Do you have troubles with analyzing performance when both pages and post content is off the root domain?

   Yanıtla

   • WPBeginner Support

     The main reason is to make it easier for users to remember your URLs. It would depend on the organization of the site for how difficult analytics would become.

   with this simplicity, I’ve grasped the concept of tags and categories. In reality, categories serve for content differentiation, and tags are considered internal classifications within the site.

   Yanıtla

   • WPBeginner Support

     That is one way to separate them certainly

   With tags, you can create more detailed internal categorizations. For example, consider that the WordPress installation tutorial is placed in the WordPress tutorials category, and the Joomla installation tutorial is placed in the Joomla tutorials category. What is the commonality between these two? Both are content management systems. So, you can assign a tag called “CMS” or “Content Management System” to both. Someone looking for various content management systems can click on this tag to access tutorials on installing content management systems.

   I would like to ask. I have categories and sometimes I have a label that has the same category name. For example WordPress category and WorPress tag. For each label and category with the same name, I also have the same labels. But Yoast SEO already pointed out to me that it is not good from SEO point of view to use the same keywords. So is it better to target slightly different keywords and use different labels for both? And the second question, is it good to index categories and tags or not?

   Yanıtla

   • WPBeginner Support

     Indexing categories and tags is good for SEO, it is normally best to have different words for your tags and categories.

     Yanıtla

     Yönetici

     • Jiří Vaněk

       Thanks for reply. I wil try to make some changes in description of both. I thought that it could be the same, but it is true that this way both the tag and the category can find use under slightly different keywords.

   I’ve considered naming my post categories as post formats (articles, podcasts, videos, etc.). Is that a clever idea, or should I stick to the website’s topics/subtopics?

    I have a parent category “Jewellery”, which has a sub category “Earrings”. Many of my products are earrings, so they are listed in the Earrings Category. I have tagged them all with “earrings”. Is this OK, or should I avoid doing that? I have optimised the Earrings Category in SEO, but not sure what to do with the orphaned tags for “earrings”, “blue”, “crystal”, “sapphire”, etc.

    Yanıtla

13. Andre

    What I’m curious about is if a URL has the parent category/subcategory/post structure if the parent has no content in it, but it simply used to create a primary category is BAD for SEO? I’m setting up a bunch of tutorials but want all sub cats to be under “Documents” as the parent, then all sub cats will have the posts.

    I have 2 queries on SEO impact

    1. if i have one post under 2 categories , is that duplicate content?
    2. can one use many tags in one post and use the same tags on another post?

    Kind Regards

    Yanıtla

    • WPBeginner Support

      If you have a post under two categories, it would normally be better to look at if you can make the post fit under a single category or reorganize your categories if it is a consistent issue.

      The same tags can be used on different posts.

    Hi, what should I do, if I have too many categories that I don’t use? What should I do? Should I delete and redirect them to other categories?

    Yanıtla

    • WPBeginner Support

      If you are not using categories and have no plans to it would normally be best to create those redirects and remove your unused categories. If you have not added any posts to those categories then there likely isn’t any post that needs to be redirected.

    In a single post, only one category, is that right?

    Because I do use more than one category in each of my post. What would be the problem with this?

    Is putting content in multiple categories really bad for the site?

    Yanıtla

    But do I HAVE to use categories or can I just use pages? For example, I want to create a dessert website. If I have the button Recipes in my menu and then under that I have Basic recipes for example, can this just be a page and from there I link to different posts? or does it have to be a category from which I link to the different recipe posts?

    Yanıtla

    • WPBeginner Support

      You would not need the category in the short term but the more recipes you add, the harder it would be to keep all of them in your menu. By adding the posts to a category, you can add the category to your menu for WordPress to create the list of posts for you.

    Hi, I noticed that each category and tag automatically gets it’s own page. Most independent SEO tools/audits tell me these pages are not optimized well because of low word count, etc. – but is this really an issue? From a user perspective, I don’t want random text cluttering up my site just to meet a word count. How do search engines take this into account? Is it fine not to include any tag/category description? Would it be bad to ask search engines not to index my tag pages? I don’t really understand these pages, as it seems like user experience and SEO are at odds on this issue…

    Yanıtla

    • WPBeginner Support

      Those tools normally see all pages as content pages, you shouldn’t need to worry about the category and tag pages even if the tools don’t read them properly.

    Hi,

    Your articles and videos have always been of immense help.

    One question…

    You recommended 5 – 10 max categories in your expert opinion.

    Is there also a recommended limit for subcategories or as much as is necessary?

    Yanıtla

    I have a question. I have seen some websites that add extra tags. These tags have nothing to do with sorting of posts rather they do keyword stuffing in multiple tags. What is your take on this. Like I have seen such posts with 30 tags and all of them were keywords not tags. Does it help in SEO?

      We would only recommend using tags for organization at this time.

    Hi, above you said that having a single post in multiple categories can lead to duplicate content, but what about tags, assigning multiple tags to a single post, doesn’t that too lead to duplicate contents? Because, tags do have a URL right? Will it effect the SEO?

    Yanıtla

      While tags could run into that issue, it is unlikely to cause an SEO issue with how tags are handled.

    Always feel great to land on the wisdom shared by you guys!

    For me, I always keep ‘NoIndex’ the tags and ‘Index’ the categories; is it wise to do so?

    Great article, very helpful. My only question that I have been unable to find an answer to is this: Should I noIndex Category pages?

    While I think a user that landed my category page would find value, I have read that it can hurt SEO as your category page is essentially competing with your posts under that same category.

    Yanıtla

      You would want to reread the section ‘Is it okay to assign one post to multiple categories?’ for our opinion on category pages. Normally, there is no need to noindex category pages.

    we have a magazine, and use wordpress, to have our site.
    we have over 800 articles in a lot off different topics and a lot off them have different tags on them,
    with means we now have over 600 different tags on our site.
    (i have taken over running the site from a former coworker) and tags where always entered when she added our new articles.
    should i remove the tags from our site or should i leave them?
    i dont want to hurt our Seo.

    Thanks for this (and the site in general).

    As someone who has worked on many websites, I’m comfortable with the categories/taxonomy, but being new to WordPress the tags are trickier to get my head around.

    I actually think the key point is in your last paragraph – tags can be across multiple categories, while sub-categories should only sit under the one category.
