I have 1 main category and 1 subcategory and 1 additional "topic" or "area":
main categories: news, interview, tutorial
subcategories e.g. for news: shopping, entertainment, politics, sport etc.
so if there were only these 2 categories it's easy the url would be:
http://example.com/news/shopping
and detail page something like:
http://example.com/2013/12/17/people-are-buying-more-presents-via-internet
But, I need to add the additional "category" or "area" there. E.g. continents:
So, I was thinking about:
http://example.com/europe/news/shopping
http://example.com/africa/news/shopping
...
What do you think about this approach from a SEO perspective? To me it seems logical, but Google may think differently.
Another "problem"is that some articles are international. How to solve that? So they need to appear in all categories.
How structure the URL then?
Would it be counted as a duplicate content? Because the detail page for these articles would still be the same e.g.:
http://example.com/2013/12/17/people-are-buying-more-presents-via-internet
