But I’m still not satisfied with it.

Perhaps somebody can drop by and help me with some suggestions??

Yes do use search keywords provided they make sense and do not seem spammy to visitors

I am also thinking – what if we should rename the categories based on the most relevant Google search terms that led the readers to our blog. We can always find out from the Google Analytics. And also, we can use the “Site Overlay” tool to analyse which categories are drawing more clicks.

Good posting.
Cheers

Interesting post. However there is one thing I am pondering about. I use the Google New Blogger which have recently introduced Labels (Categories). That create pages (and links in the main (home) page which search engines spiders can follow) which will contain identical content as the individual post page (permalink) and initially in the main page too. It is said that search engine penalise duplicate content and any duplicate contents they find on a site goes to the supplemental index (haven’t try to find out what this is or what it implies). However, someone has said that you have to try your best to avoid your pages ending up in the supplemental index of search engines. What is your take on this?

I’ve been considering redoing my categories for quite some time. I think that’s a great weekend project!
