Hi,

Im currently ranking for one of my keywords as a category instead of a single posts. I don't mind that at all, but I was wondering, are there any downsides to it? I don't see it that often when I'm searching Google myself...

Cheers!

    Why there would be downsides? In my opinion this shouldn't be problem.
    If you have only category that's ranking, for a certain keyword, I don't see why it's not even better then having one, single post for that keyword/s!

    You don't see your posts searched so much? Maybe posts are not searched much, but category is, doesn't matter, that's the way it is in my opinion.

    Maybe FingerPicker means he's ranking a category page, say on a wordpress site? That means a visitor has to click once more to get to the article or to the subject he/she is actually searching for. In that scenario you could lose sales.

      Yeah that's what I meant indeed. Well, the keyword I'm talking about doesn't matter because it's used to drag people into my website instead of selling a product.

      Is there a way to change this?

    Piggyback off the first ranked page authority & rank a 2nd internal page for the exact same keyword.
