How to setup tumblr blog.site.com to give juice to site.com
-
Is it possible to get a subdomain blog.site.com that is on tumblr to count toward site.com. I hoped I could point it in webmaster tools like we do www but alas no.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I looked at wordpress, but I am having trouble getting it to play nicely with MVC.

Tumblr doesn't support anything other than the subdomain of tumblr.com or you can upgrade your account to use your own domain (it's a paid upgrade available in the customize / info section)
Depending on your hosting environment you have a few options. I think you'll find most people support / suggest wordpress. It's free, easy to use, and the community offers a bunch of great plugins.

Is there any way you know how to host a tumblr in a sub-directory or do we need to get a custom written blog app for our site?

You don't have control over the domain, so you're not going to be able to do any domain pointing. You'll inherit the juice from the links you get from that subdomain only, but you're not going to get anything from the main tumblr domain. You're also not going to capitalize on all of the incoming links to your blog if you host it on tumblr, since it's not actually on your site.
You'd be far better off hosting your blog in a subfolder on your own domian. This way you have total control over it and your domain gets all of the link juice when someone links to one of your articles. It will also count as a hit to your website, not tumblr.
I could go on with other reasons, but I don't want to go too far out of the scope of your question.

Google indexing .com and .co.uk site
Hi, I am working on a site that is experiencing indexation problems: To give you an idea, the website should be www.example.com however, Google seems to index www.example.co.uk as well. It doesn’t seem to honour the 301 redirect that is on the co.uk site. This is causing quite a few reporting and tracking issues. This happened the first time in November 2016 and there was an issue identified in the DDOS protection which meant we would have to point www.example.co.uk to the same DNS as www.example.com. This was implemented and made no difference. I cleaned up the htaccess file and this made no difference either. In June 2017, Google finally indexed the correct URL, but I can’t be sure what changed it. I have now migrated the site onto https and www.example.co.uk has been reindexed in Google alongside www.example.com I have been advised that the http needs to be removed from DDOS which is in motion I have also redirected http://www.example.co.uk straight to https://www.example.com to prevent chain redirects I can’t block the site via robot.txt unless I take the redirects off which could mean that I lose my rankings. I should also mention that I haven't actually lost any rankings, it's just replaced some URLs with co.uk and others have remained the same. Could you please advise what further steps I should take to ensure the correct URL’s are indexed in Google?

Looking to migrate a subdomain Wordpress site onto the main domain, but the payment system breaks based on one or more of the plugins used on the blog having been linked with spammy activity in the past.

Switching site from http to https. Should I do entire site?
Good morning, As many of you have read, Google seems to have confirmed that they will give a small boost to sites with SSL certificates this morning. So my question is, does that mean we have to switch our entire site to https? Even simple information pages and blog posts? Or will we get credit for the https boost as long as the sensitive parts of our site have it? Anybody know? Thanks in advance.
