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.

Exchanging Guest Blog Opportunities - SEO Implications?
Haven't found a clear, recent answer on this. What are the SEO implications of exchanging guest blogging opportunities (in other words, we write an article for a partner blog with a backlink, and they write an article on on our blog with a backlink)? The partner site has a 57 domain authority and we have a 24 domain authority.

Is it okay to delete old blog posts?
Hi All, I'm doing some SEO work on an entertainment (movies/tv/gaming) blog that started in 2011. Their recent articles have gained some popularity due to improved content and marketing, but there is some old stuff from the early days that was poorly written and gets virtually no traffic. These are mostly old news pieces. Out of approximately 10,000 articles, about 1,000 are receiving the lions share of the traffic. I feel like their good content is getting bogged down in a sea of crap. Would there be any harm in deleting some of those old posts? Is there a best practice for culling content? Thanks!

Moving a html site into Wordpress
I'm getting ready to move a site into Wordpress. The current or old site is built with static html pages. My question is, how should I handle Google with these old pages. Should I 301 redirect from each old page to the new? Or is there a better way to handle it?

Best places to get pictures for blog posts?
Well I'm really sick of reading people questions saying "help my sites been affected by penguin" So I thought I would ask something about blogging, where is the best place to find and buy pictures for blog posts? I already use Wikimedia commons. But I'm interested websites that have a bigger range that aren't too pricey. What do you recommend?

Corporate blog
We are starting a corporate blog and were discussing the best place to put it in terms of the URL. Would http://blog.companyabc.com be OK, or is another structure better? Like http://www.companyabc.com/blogtitle/?
