Help with blog for linkbuilding location.
-
I work for a company that has www.widget.com. This is the site we do all our business under. Right now there is no linkbuilding so I would like to create a blog to start linkbuilding. We also own www.widget.info. Can I run the blog under .info and still get the credit on the .com or are they considered completely separate entities that have nothing to do with one another? The reason I would prefer it on the .info is it gives me complete control. By putting it on out .com I have to talk to the developers to install wordpress and mysql, when I would much rather just be able to do it on my own. Any ideas?

The blog is not just for linkbuilding, It will have articles for natural links, but will also be used as a way to communicate with current customers.

Honesty speaking, I am not getting what you mean to say here – “Right now there is no linkbuilding so I would like to create a blog to start linkbuilding.”
_Do you mean, you will develop a blog solely for the sake of doing 3 way link exchange? Please elaborate. Of you want to develop a blog and then post some great articles which will help you earn some natural links. The second one sounds a logical approach and of course doing guest blogging in others’ sites and get a link back would be another great effort to make your blog attain some sort of online visibility.
And of course, there is no point in launching another domain. This will not pass any value to your existing website. _

Honestly, best thing you can do it replicate the content/page on your main site, 301 redirect and canonical (or just canonical).
main site probably has more authority, will gain more authority and if the goal is the rank the main site, you need to put as much (linkable) content on it as possible instead of splitting it into two sites. Plus, .info's are just worse =/
An widget.com/info/ with all the info based articles would be easiest to add while keeping the "info" related stuff separate.
Cheers!

Do you have any ideas for what I can do with the .info? It has some stuff on it right now, mostly just pamphlets of things we sell. Is there any other use for it?

They are considered completely separate entities that have nothing to do with one another.
Ideally, widget.com/blog/ is the best place to run your blog.

Exact Domain Match does it help or distract?
Does owning / buying an exact domain match help or not necessary? For example our main website ranks for nearly 14,800 Keywords but one KW we are trying to get in the top spot for we are currently at the bottom of page #1. We do see an exact domain match available so we purchased it but i don't know if it would actually help us or distract us. I was thinking we could create an article about the keyword on that exact domain then do some on page seo and back linking. But would that be more of a distraction VS. just focusing on getting more high quality back links to the main website we have ranked on Page 1 at the bottom? Any ideas or benefits to use an exact domain match to help boost also?

Does a Subdomain Blog Pass Juice?
I have a client who has their blog on a subdomain instead of subfolder. Unfortunately, the eCommerce platform they are using does not allow them to implement a blog in the subfolder. So now we are looking at growing their blog as a means to drive more traffic to the main site. The blog is a mirror of the eCommerce site's navigation with the main content section being a blog rather than products. Will publishing content and building links to the subdomain blog pass authority to the main site?

Focus on guest blogging not working; what's the best quick fix?
I have always used strictly white-hat SEO tactics, targeting long-term results, my main focus being on quality guest blogging. I have been working on a site for around 6 months, and I started out with my keywords ranking very well, but very little traffic was coming to the site. 2 weeks ago I expanded my keyword list considerably in an effort to drive more traffic, but last week my keywords all took a nosedive. My client wants an answer by Thursday. I know there's no quick fix, but what's the best way to quickly get my rankings back up and serious traffic to the site? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Is there a tool available to identify whether you already have a link for a specific blog/website?
Hi there, There are a couple of us in the office that are involved in link building - and sometimes it's difficult to keep track of where everybody is trying to build links. Does anybody know if there is a tool available where users can input both website addresses to check whether you already have a link from the desired website? Thanks in advance for your help.
