SEO and blog categories
Does this go under blogging or in SEO? Heck, I don't know!

Anyway, here is my question:

I'm setting up my blog and want to get some categories up front so they create strong SEO. I'm having trouble keeping them short enough but making them clear plus thinking they are strong enough. On top of that it would be helpful if they fit my niche! I've been to several other VA blogs to get random ideas but those don't even come close to the needs of my niche. (sigh) Now I'm in the grip and starting to wonder if I'm making a bigger deal of this than necessary. I'd rather know now than set up my blog and find out later.

To me this is kinda like going to purchase a horse before you know what you want to pull. If you are going around town for a Sunday drive you don't want a sturdy draft horse you want a white stallion, right? But you sure the heck wouldn't put a white stallion behind your plow. RRrrrrrrrrrr. Those were the breaks on my analogy. Sorry. But you see what I'm getting at right?

Can someone point me in the right direction with helpful advice? I'm on my third blog post with no categories in site.

Create an amazing day!

Sundi, good for you for getting a blog set up!

Categories are a bit secondary, although certainly helpful to a degree - but post titles and content are your premium here. You can add categories as you go along - no worries.
