Can I have too many labels?

No.

Well flatly that's my opinion.

As you can see from CB Blog Success right now we have over 35 labels/post topics.

And although some of the blog postings overlap and are referenced in multiple labels I find it really useful because some people are only looking for one thing and won't look in another "directory" so to speak. So you have to make sure they have all available resources at hand.

Not to mention, I think people are looking for specific topics and the more clearly you can define this with your labels the easier it is for them to locate what they need and they'll thank you for it! (Okay well they may not literally thank you but you know what I mean ;)

But won't people get upset if they go into one directory and then another and see the same posting? Well they may, but you have to decide if that's something you're willing to risk. How much of an annoyance do you think it causes your readers?

If they are complaining it's probably because you didn't cross-reference the material correctly - because I think people can deal with the fact that you're trying to get the information out there to all people - they just don't like to put up with information being presented falsely under a title that doesn't actually represent the content.

So start organizing your labels today!
