Tip: Make sure the blog is on YOUR site
So often we are asked about adding a blog on another website such as Blogger or WordPress.com which provides free blog hosting and has a high PR rank.
If you are using your blog to enhance your SEO then you HAVE to place your blog on your web site – it cannot live on on a another domain.
Do not even think about using a sub-web such as http://www.blog.myhotsite.com. Why would you use a sub web anyhow unless if you want a cool blog URL.
Sub webs are part of your web site but they are confusing from an SEO perspective. If you want to have the blog content 100% affiliated with your website then make sure it is off a sub folder and NOT a sub web for example : http://www.myhappysite.com/blog.
Placing your blog on a sub web will not give you the same SEO advantage as having them as a sub-folder on your website. Sub webs may be treated different by different search engines – the result outcome will be unclear.
If your blog is currently hosted on blogger.com or wordpress.com then you should think about to move it as soon as feasible if you want to raise your SEO position.
One fundamental thing to watch out for if you move a large blog to your site (with lots of content), that if you are currently ranking for a number of keywords, then your ranking can be gravely affected after you have added your blog content.
We have had clients who had great ranking have their ranking drop through the floor when we added a large blog. Adding a hit of new content ‘dilutes’ your current site content if the new content is NOT SEO optimized for the keywords that you want to rank for. Search Engine Optimize the content before making it live to avoid this dilution effect. Taking the time to do this BEFORE you add it to your site will make a big difference to your existing ranking position.
