Should You Put Categories in Your Blog URL?

Does using categories help with seo

Hi Neil very helpful but a quick question whenever I update the title to fit the ranking keyword , is it ok to do a redirect and change the URL.
Not sure how frequently should I do that ,will changing the URL frequently affect the SEO ?

Thanks for the info. What about blog tags? Should we use them? I know I misused them at the beginning when starting my blog.
Do you recommend going back and deleting these tags? Thanks!

Thank you sir 🙏🏻❤️. Your knowledge deliverance will deliver us from problems.

Shall i put year in my URL like best smartphones under 10k in 2021. Does URL play an important role in the seo?

If we choose “site.com/post-name” for url structure, is it possible to have some difficulty for managing the urls for example in google Analytics or same situation ?
I mean , when we have no “blog” or “category” , there os no different between pages and posts in url structure . Is it possible that this make some problems in the future of the website ?

Thank you so much this was really helpful! Right now I just started a new blog, and I set up two categories and a few subcategories. I was wondering what happens if over some time you adjust the category name or the subcategory? My permalinks are set to post name only but I was wondering if any damages happen or if it's okay to change the title names? (I also have Yoast SEO)

Can you please let me know your thoughts on if we should do no index on tags and categories for a site with 100-200 blog posts?

Thank you for the advice, Neil.

But I have a concern. You recommend to add categories. However, your website blog posts don't have them. Why?

Thanks for the video. What about domain/blog/category/post-name? Is that structure ok? I usually try to be no more than 3 levels deep for SEO but that would be 4 and seems unavoidable unless you don't include the blog page in the url. domain/category/post-name the category page can still have an internal link to the blog page. In my case, the blog page will be optimized for its keyword which includes blog. Like if you where creating a blog site for whiskey. whiskydude dot com/whiskey-blog/irish-whiskey/jameson or something like that. In this case there are three options. Make the home page also the blog page which I don't prefer, include the blog, category and post in the url or don't include the blog page in the url. Which is best for SEO? Please advise. Thanks

Great vid! Under 1000 posts go with blog/post-name if you're going to have a team of people writing posts go with /category/post-name or category/sub-category/post-name

Its quite a task to keep an explanation short and yet clearly understood. And you managed to do that very well. Keep it up. You explain to the point and effectively so.

What structure should a small blog follow? Let say I am building a micro-niche site less than 5 category and 20 items. ¿How should I go about to create a navigational menu? Thanks

That’s helpful. Thanks! I subbed.

THANKS NEIL
