Blogging for an ecommerce site
-
Hi There,
Where would you install the blog?
regards
-
I would always use, as Spencer has stated, .com/blog/ so you do not risk splitting the link juice.
-
It depends what you are going for here. It is typically recommended that you install the blog at mydomain.com/blog/ because it gives the link value to mydomain.com. This is the best option if you want your main domain to rank higher and for long tail search.
If you put it at blog.mydomain.com it will count as a subdomain and the link value will be split. This option can be beneficial if your main domain already ranks where you would like it to, or will be able to without the blog. Then you can use the blog to dominate rankings by having a first and second listing with the subdomain.
mydomainblog.com is not recommended as it is a completely separate domian and will have no synergy with your other doman.

For a consumer facing blog, how often do you recommend updating content to develop good rankings? I understand that it's really dependent upon the niche/competition, but what are some best practices? Content is expensive. Thanks
