Displaying 10 blog-posts from website homepage: Any loss in-terms of link juice?
-
Hi community,
We started showing 10 blog-posts from our blog on our website homepage. Will this hurts us anyway by taking away link juice?
Thanks

Doing this will make the 10 active (currently rendered in the homepage listings) blog posts have a better chance of ranking for long tail terms, but **yes some PageRank will be lost from your homepage **(or rather, redistributed)
If you have lots of SEO authority, you're doing the right thing! There's a reason that farmers use complex irrigation systems. Those same systems would also be poorly placed to water the daffodils hanging from your balcony.
Although the question which I answered just a few moments ago is slightly different to your own, you will find (if you read my full answer) that there are lots of relevant parallels to what you are asking:
More links, more expansive nav and increased granularity of URL architecture are all great things. The only problem is, like a complex irrigation system, they need a large water supply (or rather - a large pool of SEO authority to draw from). If you don't have lots of 'juice' to spread, you could bleed out instead
If you only have a bucket of water to begin with, then a simpler, more streamlined approach is usually better. You don't want the system to spray one tiny droplet of authority (which makes no difference) to thousands of pages.
For every tactic there is a proper time and place
I'm not trying to push you in either direction, just allow you to make a more informed decision for yourself

Lets say if i have a website xyz.com (which provide pest control services in New York City) and I want to create third party blogs on platforms like blogspot, weebly etc so should i create the blog url as xyz.blogspot.com or i can use a keyword in the blog URL such as pestcontrolnyc.blogspot.com?

How to Outsource Guest Blog Posts?
We have operated a small ecommerce company for over 10 years in the home and garden industry. Our product niche is small and there is not a lot of "community" around it as it is just not a social product, yet the product is interesting. Our internal time is very limited and therefore we have hired external help over the years to do our SEO. As you all know, this is very challenging to do affordably and not get spammers. As part of our SEO strategy we would like to do some guest blog posts but do not have the internal time to research and build the relationships needed. We basically have no internal writing skills and have always hired writers to do our blog postings.My question is if you had to hire someone to do guest blog posts how would you go about finding the right person to use? Of course an excellent writer would be required. What would you expect to pay for this type of service? Would you do it hourly or "pay per live post". Any ideas on where to find this type of person? Thanks.

Why does SEOmoz not show links to my website?
Google WebMaster shows that 55 external sites have links to my website (webmakercms.com). But SEOmoz shows only 5 links and when I click on "download to CSV" I get a message saying that there is no data for this url in Open Site Explorer. Why is this?

Internal Linking for Newspaper Websites
Now, there are a number of do's and dont's when it comes to internal linking, but do those rules apply to news websites that have to interlink relevant news stories, primarily based on their relevancy to the user and the value that they have to provide rather than keeping the idea of page rank sculpting in mind? What's your take on this?
