Where do I place my blog
-
Sorry but this has probably been discussed earlier, but things change all the time.
Gonna start blogging about my webside.
Where should I place my blog to get most SEO benefits for my main page?
mysite.xx/blog
blog.mysite.xx (on a server with diffrent ip)
An external TDL. -
Thank you!
I will go for domain.xxx/blog
-
Already answered repeatedly but piping in just to lend even more support to the consensus.

Agreed with previous responses. domain.xx/blog is the way to go. It doesn't necessarily benefit your home page, but it is the least time-consuming to rank and only takes a small percentage of your "link juice" (the same as any other link coming off your home page.
Given blogs are dynamic content and therefore are less impactful than static content on a site, I would place it in a way you think your incoming traffic would find it most easily. This, again, is why we suggest a domain.xx/blog layout, as this allows your incoming traffic to locate it within 1 click.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
You should place it like www.yoursite.com/blog .
The reason is if you place it on a sub-domain, search engine treats it an entirely different site. SO you have to build the sub-domain reputation through back-links. Which is time consuming and need a lot of hard work.
Thanks

The first one, www.mysite.com/blog - is the way to go. Many articles on it, but in short maximizes backlink juice...

Will SEO Blogs Divert Traffic from Main Web pages using same keywords?
Our company has drafted several SEO blogs using certain keywords. If we post these SEO blogs to our website and social media channels , and the blog keywords are also used on our main website pages, will the blogs divert or dilute traffic to our main web pages? Thank you for your expertise and insights in advance.

Best way to handle blogs for a customer with a chain business?
I have a new customer who owns three local gyms. Each one has its own unique url. I intend to do some blogging for him, and would like it to be effective for SEO. Obviously, publishing duplicate content is out, but writing tons of new posts each month is beyond our scope. Would you recommend having one separate blog (with its own url) that is linked from each of the 3 main sites, or would it be better to create a blog on each site and alternate publishing articles on each one, putting a unique intro and link to the main post on the other two?

Move blogspot blog Domain/Blog
We have had a blog up for over 2 years on brandname.blogspot.com. I want to get the SEO value out of the blog - we have 400 blog post. We don't get alot of visitors and the blogposts weren't even linked to the main site. Should I just 301 redirect and move everything to domain/blog? Is that the best way? Thanks.
