        It depends on the number of pages, article pages, please paste the url of your domain to allow us take a look

          I agree with Claudio.  It does depend upon how many posts you are making.

          We have a blog that gets 6 to 10 posts per day and it has over 100 categories - with each post going into two categories.  Another blog gets two posts per week and it has ten categories with each post going into one category.

            Hi,

            The key is keep the important pages as upper as possible from home, in some cases several categories turn into a problem, one of my sites a shareware repository has 154 categories and today I think this was an error, with half categories the site should be running better

                • For an e-commerce product category page that has several funnels to specific products, for SEO purposes does it matter whether the category page's overview content is above or below those funnels?
