Multiple post categories – single permalink

If you are using category name in permalink for a post, it’s not a good practice, especially, if you have two or more categories per post.

Solutions:
Use canonical link tag for the post and add it to your prefered absolute URL. Google will rank only this one and it won’t be as duplicate content.
