: Do similar products across different categories affect SEO? If I have one category Long Sleeve T-Shirt With its products Family Long Sleeve T-Shirt Children Long Sleeve T-Shirt Vintage Long Sleeve

If I have one category


Long Sleeve T-Shirt


With its products


Family Long Sleeve T-Shirt
Children Long Sleeve T-Shirt
Vintage Long Sleeve T-Shirt


Now I have another category


Jersey T-Shirt


But basically it also has similar products


Family Jersey T-Shirt
Children Jersey T-Shirt
Vintage Jersey T-Shirt


What's the best way to deal with the similarity for SEO purpose?

Do I just use the same structure as above or is there a better way?

The challenge with the structure you mention is that it could lead itself to "duplicate" content for search engines, and search engines might be forced to "choose" a category, skewing traffic towards this category. Have you considered differentiation by content? Ie making sure you uniquely describe/add text for long sleeve tshirts and jersey t shirts?

However, if you do choose to invest effort in structuring the site so that the categories do not compete with each other, I would recommend using a super category (eg "shirts"), and then have breadcrumbs which help users and search engines understand hierarchy and navigate to products.
