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.

Page Juice not moving???
Moved URL's from ldnwicklesscandles.com to ldnwicklesscandles.co.uk because I wanted to rank better for UK where I'm located and thought also the .co.uk for my competitors may have been giving them the advantage. Use Squarespace 7 (transferred over from SS5)----they told me to set primary domain to .co.uk and I've done it. I've also done a 301 redirect and done a change of address in webmaster tools although I'm not sure if all of this is needed? Squarespace seem to think just setting the primary domain is enough. My question is its been a couple of weeks, I've resubmited to Google webmaster to try to speed things up, the new URL is appearing in Google but none of my Page Juice seems to be transferring yet? How long will it take? I know not all the juice will move over but my PA/DA is non existent now and I have no idea if I'm just being impatient or I've done something wrong here. Not a Pro, Just a small biz owner here so forgive me if this has been asked before.

Site structure headache
Hello all, I'm struggling to get to grips with a websites site structure. I appreciate that quality content is key etc, and the more content the better, but then I have issues with regards to doorway pages. For example im now starting to develop a lot of ecommerce websites and want to promote this service. should we have pages that detail all of the ins and outs of ecommerce - or should we simplify it to a couple of pages. what is best practice? Also isn't a content hub similar to having doorway pages? let me know what you think! William

Moving Duplicate Sites
Apologies in advance for the complexity. My client, company A, has purchased company B in the same industry, with A and B having separate domains. Current hosting arrangement combines registrar and hosting functions in 1 account so as to allow both domains to point to a common folder, with the result that identical content is displayed for both A & B. The current site is kind of an amalgam of A and B. Company A has decided to rebrand and completely absorb company B. The problem is that link value overwhelmingly favours B over A. The current (only) hosting package is Windows, and I am creating a new site and moving them to Linux with another hosting company. I can use 301's for A , but not for B as it is a separate domain and currently shares a hosting package with A. How can I best preserve the link juice that domain B has? The only conclusion I can come up with is to set up separate Linux hosting for B which will allow for the use of 301's. Does anyone have a better idea?
