What Is The Best Way To Categorize 3 Different Top Level Categories Each With 20 Sub Categories

[crazymikesapps1]

Hello,

We are trying to figure out the best way to categorize our app review website. We have 3 platforms, iPhone, iPad and Android and each platform has several sub categories and numerous apps subcategories totaling around 50 to 60 categories for each platform.

Any suggestions how to do this properly?

thank you

Mike

Interesting question, there are obviously 2 scenarios.

1. Device Category (iPhone/iPad/Android) > Games (Sub Categories)

or

2. Games Category > Device iPhone/iPad/Android

What platform are you using for your website ? Or is this custom ? I'd suggest you do some sort of an analysis and see how users perform searches and prefer to navigate sites like yours. In either case, provide both ways of navigating if you can. Survey a group of audience if you can and get real insight, again...if you can.

Nakul,

we are going with the platform for SEO key rich urls, for example:

iphone/app/books, ipad/applications/books, android/apps/books/ and this would go for the 30+ additional categories for each device, which is primarily the same as the original App Stores categorization.

We are using WordPress, Yoast plugin for SEO, but have just now begun to focus on a correct taxonomy that makes sense to users as well as Google, showing a theme across our content.

I would love to use the urls: iphone/apps/books, ipad/apps/books, and android/apps/books/ but I am not sure how to do this technically in WordPress, since you can only have 1 original url for any category, tag, post or page.

Also, do you have any suggestions for tools to query what our visitors are searching for on our site?

thank you

Mike
