Blog Categories
-
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

I allow authority sites to republish my blog articles, which then outrank me
Hey everyone. This is my first question here, I apologize if it has been covered before. I have a health and nutrition blog [authority nutrition] that has been up since December 1st, 2012. I've managed to write quite a few viral articles which have given me a bunch of natural links and a domain authority of 49, which I think is pretty great for such a new site. Haven't done any link building and everything is 100% white hat. Getting good rankings and good traffic already, so I can't complain. My only (1st world) problem is that sometimes major authority sites (DA of 70-95) republish my content. I always say yes if they ask me first, but some of them just republish without even asking. My articles are always indexed on my blog before they get republished, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. These sites always clearly link to the original URL, but they often tend to outrank me for the keywords I was targeting in the articles. They tend to rank in the top 5, but my original article is nowhere to be found. I plan on continuing to allow these sites to republish as I get powerful links and good traffic from them, but it's a bit frustrating that I don't seem to get the credit as the original source. I've already set up Google Authorship, but it doesn't seem to help. Is there anything I can do to make sure Google recognizes my article as the original and chooses to rank my site instead of the authority site that simply republished my article?

One Page Website Blog Content Question
Hi guys, I'm new to the art of SEO and am learning every day from all the fantastic content here, I have a question that I can't find an answer to, hope it doesn't stump you like it has me... I have a one page website (www.neilwilliamsvoiceover.com) that I need to put more content on for SEO purposes but needs to be kept as one page. I've set-up a blog via blogger, and have that on the website but it's in iframe, which I've now discovered is ignored by search engines. So, my question is, is there a way to pull my blog feed into the website and have it recognised by search engines as content for the website? Would I use an RSS feed or feed burner or something else completely?! Thanks for your time and help in advance.

Lost in the blog world
I want to start a blog, but honestly I have no idea where to start as I've got so many questions so I hope someone can help me out. I have a Magento e-commerce website so I've got the possibility to integrate the WP extension. Would that be a good idea or is it better to have a separate blog and separate server? Which blog platform is considered to be the best and what are the main differences between the big blog platforms? Should I use my business (domain) name for my blog or have a separate (domain) name? How often are you 'supposed' to blog per week/month to build a strong blog? Many thanks in advance!

Onsite Blogging Vs Guest Blogging
Hey all! I have a limited amount of time allocated to writing instructional blog posts for my company. When I complete an article I can do whatever I want with it: pitch it as a guest post on an industry blog, or post it on my company's onsite blog. I know there's not a magical solution regarding the percentage of time one should devote to guest blogging v. focusing on the company blog, but I figured I'd throw the conundrum out to the Mozzers anyway. In your opinion, how many of your writing resources should be devoted to guest posts, and how many should be devoted to maintaining the onsite blog? What if our onsite blog isn't currently receiving a lot of traffic? Thanks! Meg
