14. CONTENT ORGANIZATION
Categorize Your Content
Know the basic topics that your content falls under.
These will become your categories. Using categories
for content in a WordPress blog is a key factor for
SEO. Not only will the categories help you with
blogging, they will be useful for your overall content
creation.

15. CONTENT ORGANIZATION
WHAT ARE YOUR CATEGORIES?
Should be 5-7 overall words that you can categorize
your content into.
Categories are main themes. Tags further expand upon
these themes.
Make everything you do SEO friendly, especially your
categories.
