: Archive structure and effects on SEO With a wordpress setup as follows of pages, custom posts, a custom taxonomy of colours and rewrite rules in place: Pages: Archive: -fruits Single: --fruit/apple

With a wordpress setup as follows of pages, custom posts, a custom taxonomy of colours and rewrite rules in place:

Pages:

Archive:
-fruits

Single:
--fruit/apple
--fruit/orange

Archive by colour:
---fruits/colour/%colour%

-vegetables
--vegetable/potatoe
--vegetable/carrot
---vegetables/colour/%colour%

-colours
--colour/red
--colour/green

etc ...

I could quite feasibly structure archives to be found at the following

fruits/colour/red

or

colour/red/fruits

In the context of how a user could navigate a site I can see the benefits of having both paths available but pointing to what is essentially the same content.

Should this be avoided with respect to SEO and avoiding duplicate content?

If you need these two URLs being accessible for users, you need to choose one URL as the indexed one for search engines and put to the second one a rel="canonical" tag refering the first one. That way, these two URLs will be accessible for users but just one will be marked as valid (= indexed) for search engines to avoid duplicate content issues.

For example, you choose the first one (http://www.example.com/fruits/colour/red) and in the second one, you add this tag <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/fruits/colour/red" />. That way, all the SEO value will be associated to the first URL.
