Learn how to make money online!

No matter if you are just starting out or have been bogging for while now, reading this would help you a lot. When you post an article, you have to choose a category associated with it (Taxonomy in Expression Engine). Let’s say that you have written an article on Xbox 360 and that you are comparing it with PlayStation 3. I am sure you will have these 3 categories in you blog i.e. Gaming, Xbox, PlayStation. Normally you would go ahead and select all 3 categories for the article but this is where you would be making a mistake.

Always associate one article with one category, this way you can easily avoid duplicating content on your blog which is frowned upon by search engines such a Google. In the above example, the best category to choose would be Gaming.

This poses another question, what happens to people looking for Xbox & PlayStation… they won’t get to see the article because it is not in those categories! This is why you need to use TAGS in your blog. You can have multiple tags per article which makes it different from a category. Tags are keywords from your article which you think would be instantly recognized by visitors on your blog, thus making it very easy for them to find the right content.
