I have a question related to SEO and custom taxonomies.

I have created a custom taxonomy for my wordpress products. Would it be best, in terms of SEO to have the description for the custom taxonomy displayed on each product, or should I place the description on just the products archive page when the selected taxonomy term is selected.

For example, lets say 8 products share a custom taxonomy term. Should each product have the term description on the individual product page, or should it only be on the products page when the shopper selects the term and then the 8 products displayed below.

This may or may not make a difference but this particular taxonomy term description is typically very lengthy (250 to 400 words).

Thanks for the feed back.

Being it so long I do not think it's very userfriendly to place it on each product in the shop, unless they must see it.

Google will try to fetch words (key words) in your Titles with the contents of the site, so it's a good idea to present it, but User UX also has to be considered.

I am no SEO Specialist, and since Toolset does not present a solution for this (as it's no SEO plugin), I would suggest, if you need professional opinions on this, to ask a SEO Professional.

But in my opinion, I would not add it to each and every product on the Shop.

On a individual Product, yes, there it makes sense.

So I would add it to the products as single View, and in the Archives as teh term description (just once per term)
