Custom Taxonomies – Best SEO practices?
-
I’ve read that when using categories it’s best to keep each post within just a single category for SEO purposes (so you’re not duplicating content), but right now I’m working on a new layout for my site making use of custom taxonomies, one of which is going to be Genre. I’d like to have it be hierarchical like Categories, so I could have things like Comedy then a bunch of sub-genres, then the same for Drama, Horror, etc. The problem here is that a lot of things fall into multiple genres. Would I be safer doing this as a non-hierarchical taxonomy instead so I could put in multiple genres? Does it matter?
I do plan to have archive pages for each genre that will contain lists of posts in that genre, which I know will create some duplicates no matter what, for example a movie might be a comedy and show up on the comedy page and also have a lot of action elements so it’d be on the action page as well.
Is there another solution I’m not thinking of?
