Blogspot blog on sub domain

[activitysuper]

Hi,

I have a blog on the blogger platform from Google and it currently sits on a sub domain which can be added into the settings.

But I got a feeling Google wont see this as part of the website because when I add the sub domain into the main websites sitemap it kicks an error for it.

So basically what I got is a website and an external blog. The external blog gets a post a day with an anchor text link back to the most relevant page on the main website but I have read on the SEOMOZ website that smashing one external blog is not anywhere near as effective as syndicating the content across a range of blogs.

So I have an external blog with pr4 and 100 backlinks, I have to say I did not set this up it was handed over like this and I cant move the blog onsite either.

I'm thinking it would have been better to have 10 blogs with pr2 with 10 backlinks on each instead.

I need to double check this before I action this from now on.

Well, your first issue is having a blog only for SEO, search engines aren't that bothered if you have a blog, users might be and if users like it and link to it then search engines might care.

Anyway, you're almost certainly better to focus on developing one good blog than five okay ones.

If you're talking about developing a content syndication strategy, then there's a lot more to think about.

Sorry,

My blog is external from the website and its only purpose is for SEO.

It gets a 300 word post each day.

Is it better to spread the posts across 5 blogs or to put them all on one blog?

What's the question?
