  Hello,
  I am new to this and i hope the community members would be able to help me.

  I have this blog made in wordpress:
  http://www.healthfitnessdietcare.com

  Now see that i have used a plugin which has removed the http://www.domain.com/category/health and made it to http://www.domain.com/health

  my issue is that search engines never show the category page itself in the search engine results. They show tags and posts, but not the main category page. This removes the possibility of a category itself coming in higher search rankings. Also when a site gets popular the important links of a particular website comes under the domain name. i dont think the way wordpress is structured the categories would come up.

  To sum up – when i enter http://www.healthfitnessdietcare.com/healthy-recipes/ in google, it should show up as this – as a page itself. Not the first post which is in this category – so that this important page is indexed first.

  I have tried to be as clear as possible.

  Kindly help.

  Thanks,
  Raj

  Maybe they would like the long version??

  Your site is not hosted on WordPress.COM, this site is for support of sites hosted on WordPress.COM. You should address your questions to WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using: http://wordpress.org/support/

  For more on the difference: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
