Make Your Website Easy to Navigate

This piece will discuss the importance of categories in your blog, both for SEO and usability. You want potential visitors to read your content and be able to find and read it later. And you want your blog visitors to be able to access your older posts. These visitors should become loyal readers of your blog.

You create your content with great care and effort. It is a shame that your content disappears a few days after you have published it when you publish your next post but there is a solution.

Tips to Help You Maintain Your Blog's Category Structure

Here are the practical tips to help maintain a category structure for your blog:

Blog Categories Are Important for Usability

You want people to be able to navigate your blog easily. Clear, easily-found category pages are essential for the most popular topics that you blog about. Your blog will instantly be visible to new audiences, who can easily find posts related to a particular topic. It is always a good idea if your audience can quickly go back to older content.

You do this by creating category titles at the top of your blog. E.g. Reviews, About, Lifestyle, etc then add your posts to these categories as you write them. This makes it very easy for readers to find old posts.

I have always tried to use categories this way, but I've yet to add subcategories. Thanks Lily. Jim

I liked your point that no category should be more than twice the size of smaller ones... but I haven't done that. Looking ahead!
