From an SEO perspective, consider the following website presenting mobile phones. The website will have a section for Best phones where you can find a list of phones with short descriptions and a link to a full description for the phone you wish to read about.Is it better to use 1. or 2.?Using posts for phone descriptions and review, and put these posts in a certain category. That category will stand as the best phones list.example.com/best-phones/  <-- this is a categoryexample.com/best-phones/samsung-galaxy/ <-- this is a postCreating normal static pages for both the best phones list as well as for the phones themselves.example.com/best-phones/ <-- this is a static page containing a list of phones and a short description for each oneexample.com/best-phones/samsung-galaxy/  <-- this is a static page too containing a full description of Samsung GalaxyThe content and linking would be the same. I guess the main difference is [page vs post] and [category vs page]. I know that posts are time sensitive. So that is why I am not sure I should use posts instead of pages.I am strictly asking in regards to SEO. For example I know the first option would be much easier to update and maintain but I am not asking about that.Strictly regarding SEO and how these websites would rank in a search engines?
A static page vs a category page. Which is better in terms of SEO and ranking possibilities?
seo;page;post;architecture
There is no difference for SEO because URLs, linking and content would be the same.Even if you want an answer regarding SEO, your choice must be driven by which site architecture is the most relevant in your case. A good site architecture improves users browsing on your site and don't forget taking care of users is the best option to improve SEO.Do you want a site or a blog? I think if you want a blog, choosing the categories and posts is most probably the best option but if you want a site, choosing pages system is most probably the best option. Therefore, regarding your situation, I would use the pages system.
