My website is making progress and I have been looking for ways to better it and

manage it as it grows. Two things I have been working on to help things along

have been categories and cononical URLs.

Categories

I am getting more and more posts and I noticed before that all my content was

marked as Uncategorized. That is a default by Wordpress and if you want to

change it then you have to specify what it is on your own. Nobody makes the

categories for you.

The addition of Categories to your site is a smart idea and it help your

visitors see their choices before exhausting themselves trying to look through

a lot of blog pages. You can organize your posts and specify the category they

are in and it makes so much content available really easily.

There is a good teaching here at WA on the addition of Categories to your site.

Canonical URLs

The other topic I have been working on this week has been dealing with Google

indexing and trying to get all of my content indexed by Google. I have been

having issues with this and it's not so easy to figure out.


I have updated many posts and Google might have me in a queue to get indexed

"along the line". I want my traffic to get better and it seems only logical to

be sure many posts are indexed. I have seen a lot of content marked as Excluded

and I don't know why.

I have looked into Canonical tabs to be sure Google doesn't have issues with my

content and there is a good teaching here at WA about the Canonical URLs.

Even if you have canonical URLs it doesn't mean Google will index your content

but it is a good step toward having a friendly relationship with Google.

As I say these are the two things I have been working on this week and they are

good topics to have under your belt.
