Now you know how to create subcategories it's time to understand why this is so important.

When people visit your site, you may be one in hundreds of sites they have visited. You may have caught their eye with some great keyword searched title and you have also written an incredible article and so they think let's see what more this person has to offer?

If your categories are well thought out and they are easy to find, meaning, that the title of your post matches your category title then they will look for other articles you have written in the same genre.

So if I were to write about any other online marketers, my title might look like this; Reviews - Is Jim Cockrum a scam? The first word is my category (Reviews - close enough) and when they click on my drop down categories (which I would probably re-title to Posts of Interest) then they will find more reviews easily.

They can click on each review title (to see each review individually) or they can click on the parent category and this will give them all the reviews (subject to your settings in WordPress, mine is set at 3)

If you have any questions please ask or if you have pointers let me know.

Liking the page means you liked the page, commenting means you are really impressed and both means I will do a happy dance!

Have the best time of your life today!

The addition of subcategories also aids in not having an over populated menu at the top allowing your reader to see more of the content rather than a huge menu bar.

Great stuff Michael!

At least Bertie's graffiti is to your benefit...LOL

Don't burst his bubble. He has a following of two people.

He's using his middle name and self-reference in the third person. I don't think that counts, does it?

Breathe deeply my friend. Pages are different to posts and require breathing very deeply. I will help you, what ails you? :)
