This will not be as much of a mess. I think people would search using whole name and ticker listing. Good luck sounds like you have alot of energy.<br><b>References : </b><br> I think you should use whole company name and ticker, such as "Microsoft Inc (MSFT)". This will not be as much of a mess.

I have a "stock research" category with a subcategory called "Companies" and then several company names under that. Now that Wordpress has tags built in I've started referencing stock tickers such as MSFT as a tag. I've also added Microsoft Inc as a tag and then mixed in the term "intrinsic value" on the same post. All this looks really messy and probably isn't really search engine optimized. I need to make some changes. For stocks, should I create a category called Stocks and two subcategories called "by company name" and "by stock ticker"? This could be rather hard to maintain. Or should I just add subcategories under the Stocks category for the whole company name and ticker, such as "Microsoft Inc (MSFT)". Or should I just reference tickers as tags? Should I also add the full company name as a tag as well? Categories vs. tags? Tickers vs. full company names vs. company name and ticker? I don't know what to do. How can I best search engine optimize my financial blog’s categories and tags for stocks?

Or should I just reference tickers as tags? Should I also add the full company name as a tag as well?

Categories vs. tags? Tickers vs. full company names vs. company name and ticker? I don’t know what to do.
