Thanks Alex for sharing your know how with very clear examples.

Do you have any thoughts on how to define categorie/sub-categories? I have an e-commerce website with 5000 products, in the watersports accessories field. The problem I have is the segmentation is n dimentional:
– pwc vs boating
– men vs women
– suits vs vests vs parts
– brands
etc…

Hi Casper

Yes, there is no issue when you link your category pages together. If this is better for your users, then there is nothing wrong with it.

Hope this helps

Great article! I have one questipn though. Is it a good practice to have links between category pages or would it perhaps be confusing to Google?

Hi Mariana

It’s normal for online shops to have the same products in more than one categories so that’s not necessarily bad for SEO. As explained in the article, try to add other elements (text, images) to each of your category pages to make them ‘unique’ and valuable to both users and search engines.

Hope this helps

Hi, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Really good articles!
I have a question: I have several products in multiples categories. Is this bad for SEO?

Thanks!
Mariana.
