In the daily operation of AnQiCMS, how to organize content efficiently and systematically is a problem that every operator needs to think about carefully.Among them, 'Document Classification' and 'Document Tag' are two core content organization tools. Although their purposes are similar, their design concepts and application scenarios are quite different.Correctly understanding and using them can not only significantly improve the user experience of the website, but also lay a solid foundation for SEO optimization.

Today, let's delve into how to choose and match the use of document categories and document tags in content organization within AnQiCMS.

一、Understanding Document Classification: The Skeleton and Order of Content

In AnQiCMS,Document CategoryPlaying the role of the "skeleton" of the website content, it constructs a clear and logically rigorous hierarchical structure for your massive information.You can imagine categories as the table of contents of a book, defining the macro themes and fields of the content.

According to AnQiCMS design, each document must belong to a category and only one category.This means that the classification has exclusivity, ensuring the unique attribution of content.It is more important that the classification is closely related to the "content model" of AnQiCMS.When you create a category, you are actually specifying a content model for it (such as "article model" or "product model"). Once specified, this model cannot be changed.This means that the category not only defines the logical position of the content, but also regulates its structure and fillable fields.

The core features and value of classification are:

  • Hierarchical and structured:The category supports multi-level nesting and allows you to build a tree structure from general to specific.For example, under "Product Center
  • Content model binding:Each category corresponds to a content model, which determines the attributes and features of documents under the category (such as articles have publication dates, products have prices and inventory).This is the cornerstone of content flexibility implemented by AnQiCMS.
  • Page independence and SEO advantages:AnQiCMS allows to set independent SEO title, keywords, and description for each category, and supports custom URLs.This means you can perform in-depth SEO optimization for specific category pages, attracting potential users interested in the topic.In addition, the classification supports custom templates, Banner images, etc., giving the page a unique display style.
  • User navigation cornerstone:Most websites' main navigation menus, breadcrumb navigation, directly or indirectly depend on the classification system.An excellent classification structure allows users to quickly locate the required content, enhancing browsing efficiency.

In short, the classified answers are 'What type of content is this?' and 'Where is it located in the website structure?'

二、Understanding Document Tags: The Flesh and Connection of Content

Compared to the structured and hierarchical nature of categories,Document LabelIt appears more flexible and free, acting as the 'flesh and blood connection' between content, able to cross classification boundaries and link documents with similar themes or properties.You can consider the tags as 'topic index cards' scattered throughout the library, no matter where the books are placed on the shelves, as long as a certain topic is mentioned, this card can guide you to find all related books.

The powerful feature of AnQiCMS's document tag function lies in its“Not classified and model”the characteristics of.This means that a tag can be applied to both press releases under the article model and product introductions under the product model, as long as they are all related to the topic represented by the tag.Labels are usually more specific keywords or phrases that describe content.

The core feature and value of tags lie in:

  • Flexibility and cross-reference:Tags can break the single category restriction and achieve multi-dimensional content association.An article about "Go language
  • Granularity refinement:Tags provide a more granular description of content than categories. Categories may only have a few levels, but the number of tags is almost infinite, and they can be used to mark any detail of the content.
  • Enhanced content discovery:Users can quickly find all relevant content within the website by clicking on a tag, regardless of where these contents are scattered across different categories, which greatly enhances the discoverability of the content.
  • User experience optimization:Tags provide users with another way to explore the website content, meeting the needs of users to browse based on their interests and specific topics.
  • Long-tail Keyword SEO:The tab itself is an aggregation page of content, which can be optimized for specific long-tail keywords to capture more precise search traffic.AnQiCMS similarly supports setting independent SEO titles, keywords, descriptions, and custom URLs for tags.

In short, the tag answers 'What does this content specifically discuss?' and 'What other content is it related to?'

3. Smart Selection and Matching: Building a Three-dimensional Network of Content

Understood the characteristics of categories and tags, the next key point is how to wisely choose and match their use to build a content network that has both a skeleton and flesh.

  1. 分工明确，避免冗余：

    • 分类负责“是什么”和“在哪里”：Used for the core structure of the website, main navigation, definition of content models, and distinction of main themes. For example, 'News and Dynamic', 'Product Introduction', 'Industry Solutions', and so on.
    • Tags are responsible for 'what' and 'related to what':Used to describe the specific topic, attributes, keywords, and horizontal connections between content.For articles under the "News and Updates" category, tags such as "New Product Release", "Exhibition Activities", "Corporate Culture", etc. can be applied.
    • Avoid using categories directly as tags:If a concept is important enough to support a standalone content block or navigation item, then it should be a category.If it is just an attribute or feature of the content and needs to be associated across categories, then it is a tag.

  2. User experience oriented:

    • Categories are used for users' active exploration:When users visit the website with a clear goal, they will look for content through the navigation menu or category tree. Clear categorization can quickly guide users.
    • Tags are used for passive discovery by users:When a user browses an article, related tags can guide them to discover more interesting extended content, extending their stay time.

  3. Collaboration of SEO strategies:

    • Categorization support core keywords and website structure:Optimize the core keywords of the category page to build a clear hierarchy, which helps search engines understand the theme of the website.
    • 标签拓展长尾关键词与内部链接：The tab is an important position for expanding long-tail keywords.At the same time, content is closely linked through tags, forming a powerful internal link network, which helps to improve the weight of content and overall SEO performance.AnQiCMS provides independent SEO settings for categories and tags, be sure to make full use of them.

  4. 内容模型的考量：

    • In AnQiCMS, categories are closely linked to content models.If you have different types of content (such as blog posts, products, case studies), you first need to define these content types through categories and choose the corresponding content model.
    • The label can break through this model limitation.For example, an article introducing the "new product" (article model) and a detailed page for a new product (product model) can both share the label "new product".
