Blog Categories

[theLotter]

I am working on redoing my blog and there are many posts that fit into two categories.  Should I keep them in only one? or place them in both?

For example-

Category 1 - Gucci

Category 2 - Shirts

Should a post about "Gucci shirts" go in both places or only the "Gucci" category and the "shirts" category would then only include posts about my more minor brands.

Thanks!

As Saijo has answered here, it is perfectly fine to have the same posts in multiple categories. It will be useful to define how you want your site architecture/ hierarchy of categories beforehand, for example, whether you want to place the brand at a higher level than the product type or vice versa, or for that matter keep both of them at the same level. This really depends on how you are positioning the site.

Perhaps you can add one as a subcategory . If you cater for shirts from many brands you could have

Shirts >> Gucci

If you offer various Gucci Products You could have

Gucci >> Shirts

Its also perfectly fine to have both of them as main categories as long as they don't both offer the exact same content .. eg: you only show 10 items on a page and you have 10 shirts all of them Gucci then it could be seen as a duplicate page
