Our blog is indexed by "google web" but does not show up in "google blogs". Why not and how can I fix this?
-
We have a pretty simple blog http://www.aviawest.com/blog
I've noticed our articles arn't showing up in Google blogs on "web", we've submitted to http://blogsearch.google.com/ping a month ago. Anyone have some insight here?

Thanks Ryan. I've been submitting but it is a process. Our rss feed doesn't seem to be accepted in blog rolls I've tried. I'm playing with feedburner to try and get one that will work properly.
I'll work on the blog sitemap as well, thanks.

That sets me on the right path. We're actually using a typepad blog integrated with deliverance. Definatly no hope of a 3rd party plugin but I'll try that pingomatic, looks like a great tool.
Thank you!

Russ is right on. you need to ping. I would also do a bit of marketing to get the blog seen in the blogosphere:
1. Manually submit your blog to google blog search. http://blogsearch.google.com/ping. Also submit to technorati and other blog directories.
2. Make sure you have an RSS or Atom feed service.
3. Get on a couple of blog rolls. This doesn have to be "high PR" type of link building, just some incoming links to help google index and identify your blog.
4. Blog Sitemap to Webmaster Tools. This will also assist in the process.

Aside from submitting there, do you ping all the blog search engines with each post? Wordpress should do this automatically, but other blog software may not.
Blog pinging services like pingomatic.com allow you to notify the blog search engines each time a new post is written. If Google doesn't see those pings, they may not have good reason to come out and check your site as often.
It actually looks like you are using Plone as your CMS. If that is the case, you may need to install a 3rd party ping tool like this...

Blog.site.com vs site.com/blog
Which is better for SEO: blog.site.com or site.com/blog. In other words, is it better to have the blog running in a subdomain or as a director within the main site? Right now we are running as a subdomain, but want to be sure Google isn't considering that a separate site. The blog shows up separately on Google Analytics, which makes me think site.com/blog is better if for no other reason, it would give our domain greater traffic. Not sure if this matters, but some site info: our site is a sharing economy tool for renting your stuff we are running the blog on Wordpress blog traffic is about 5% of total traffic

How Google judge about duplicate content?
With recent Search engines updates one thing is clear we cannot ignore content. Content marketing definitely going to be most important part of our SEO strategy. I have few doubts about content marketing (circulation of content over web) where I want suggestions of community members. There would be different thoughts so I would like to have as many as responses to know what majority thinks: When we are writing guest posts, does article needs to be unique with each and every blog we are writing or we can safely circulate one good piece of content to 10-15 blogs who are interested in our creative. We have written a good blog post for our own domain. Apart from social sharing should it be posted to other related blogs too or it should be unique to our domain only. Social sharing, mentions, like of blog matters in rankings?Seems yes they do but need to know what majority thinks. Finally what is the safe number to circulate your content over web.

I have created 2 blogs for a client as they have 2 domains (1 for their core business, and 1 for a product). I want to use the same content on both blogs. What is the best way to set this up so there are no ranking or duplicate content issues?
We are pushing SEO for only one of the domains, therefore I would like one to be dominant. We will be sending the blog post via email to their database, therefore each blog needs to have the same content. Thank you!
