      Hello there,

      I have a Wordpress site and would like to know if it is better to have 600 posts or 600 pages in terms of efficiency in the site.

      I would like to publish the content as pages, as I can have subapges,etc... and keep the path: www.website.com/page/subpage1... in terms of good SEO.

      This structure of using pages rahter than posts allow me to keep the path as stated above (with a category/post path I could not manage in this sense as a pile of articles is displayed although the path category/post in terms of SEO I understand would be good too).

      Thank you very much for your thoughts here as I would go for a page structure.

      Antonio

        Whatever is better for the user. Having 600 pages on your site is spreading you link juice all over, It would be better from an SEO perspective to make pages for your targeted keywords and post all the other content, I would also link the blog contents to the pages and between the blog posts.

        Keep in mind its better to 6 really good pages with great content and social interaction. then 600 articles with useless data that no one cares about.

            Posts and pages are different in a number of ways, not just in the URL structure. The back end handles them a little differently and you can display and organize them differently on the front end. In general, posts are for articles, while pages are for the more "static" foundational parts of your site like product information, FAQs, Contact Us, and so on.

            As a side note, long URLs like www.domain.com/category/subcategory/page-name.html are not necessarily good. Don't get too many layers deep.
