    So I decided to build my pages for this site with WordPress pages instead of posts. I just now realized the advantages of having your category pages indexed and also using the category pages for your breadcrumbs which we all know helps SEO.

    I found a plugin that will allow me to use categories for my "pages" but I'm uncertain if google will pick them up as categories through a plugin? Also, would it be considered duplicate content if I took my homepage (which has the primary access to all the other pages) and set that as a category page too.

    For example:
    (Homepage has all the access to the reviews)
    (Ecig Reviews page would be identical as Homepage but set as the categories page)
    (v2 Cigs is the actual page)
    Home>>>>>>Ecig Reviews>>>>>>>V2 Cigs Review

    let me know what you guys think!

    Thanks

    As far as I know, everything search engines know about your site is via your urls. So, if something is abc.com/xyz/def then search engines thinks that def is contained within xyz which is a part of abc.com

    So, if I was in your place I'd not worry about using plugin to give categories to pages as a url structure would be my primary concern along with follow, no follow, no index (terms) that search engine crawlers honor.

    Maybe someone with more knowledge can correct me if am wrong.


    I make WordPress websites using Genesis Framework.
