Short Meme/Image Posts on Blog - Will this hurt me?
-
Hey guys, I use Hootsuite to cross-post to twitter/facebook/google+/wordpress. It's mostly short one-sentence posts (http://minecraftserverfinder.wordpress.com/). But it's updated about 5-6 times a day and the images are relevant and interesting to my followers.
Currently the wordpress page is not hosted on my main site minecraftserverfinder.com, it just links to it. I do have another blog on minecraftserverfinder.com/blog that has a couple of lengthy articles.
My questions are thus:
-
Should I keep going with these posts?
-
Should I consolidate the blogs and host them on my main site?
Thanks in advance.

Ps The content is like twitter I would use a site and blog + twitter to post short posts as twitter will get it out to many more people then you are getting now using WordPress.com This might help http://www.emagineusa.com/blog/seo-best-practices-for-writing-website-content.htm All the best, Tom

Well you need a minimum of 300 words per a blog post or web page. Your using WordPress.com that's not good use wordpress.org For whole site using the Wordpress CMS. http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/commercial/ http://www.studiopress.com/ http://wpengine.com http://zippykid.com I think this will be of help. Let me know if you need more. Tom

That partially does. I will consolidate all my blogging under one domain and one blog. Also, the second part of my question remains unanswered: will the short articles hurt me? Will it benefit?
-
I strongly recommend using one platform, host & domain. I would covert your website to Wordpress, host on wpengine.com or zippykid.com look to see why. Then you get the best of everything. I hope I was of help, Tom

SEO issues around post syndication via RSS
There are a number of clients that I have that want to syndicate either posts or video content to other websites via RSS feeds. Each of these are built on a WordPress platform, fyi. Two that this applies to are: http://explosiveoptions.net and http://mrtopstep.com Many of the sites that would pick this content up would be higher Domain and Page Ranks than the original sites. Those that have video content put it up on multiple sites, including YouTube. What can I do in the configuration of the RSS feeds to ensure the credit is maintained to the original website, and are there any other considerations I should be concerned about? Perhaps things that I would ask the other site to do in their incorporation of it to their site? Thanks for your help.
