I am using wp for my website/blog. Many times when I write a post, it fits in more than one category. Can I put a post in more than one category. Will it be ok for SEO ponit of view.

  • Yes you can, the same way you can add multiple tags to the same post.
  • Yeah you can add it to as many categories you want, its just for a search purpose, its organized and more clean/professional like that. Better indexed I believe for searches
  • Will there be any -ve impact from ranking or SEO point of views or Do search engines consider it duplication of contents or dislike this practice?

    Don't add pages/post to multiple categories, it's bad user experience & confusing Google (duplicate pages). Pick one category per page/post.

    • I would not put a post in more than one category. Put the post in the MOST relevant category for the post. When people are searching, they don't want to find the same post in multiple places.....atleast I don't

      Forget about Google for a second, and think about your user experience. Think about how you feel if you go to a site, and they have one post in 3 different places.....

      choose the most relevant, and you will be cool
  • Yes, you can assign one or more than one category for each post. Only thing to keep in mind is relevancy. If your post suits multiple categories then you should do.

    Keep user experience in mind not the Google.
  • Yes, i think you need to do more than 1 category and that's will be better for Google and your users.
