What platform is it better to write my blogs
-
In a nutshell, I have a website and on the web site I have a rolling blog updated regularly with informative ,interesting and non pushy original material.
However . I notice that my website blog has a lower page and domain Authority than my original platform which is on Googles very own platform "blogger" .
Should I use Blogger or the website ? or would it be better to promote the website blog on blogger ? or am I over thinking this ?

Thanks for the peace of mind and for a change it seems im doing something right.
I suppose its ok to promote the articles on my web site through my blogger account . IE A one line description a picture and a link to the Article.

I'd take the domain authority of blogger out the this equation. That is one downfall of DA, is that it'll show a real high domain authority for a blogspot.com domain, even though in this case it's really the authority of the subdomain that matters.

Hi.
My web site blog is http://www.bridalshoesuk.co.uk/pages/News.html and my blogger is http://weddingshoeuk.blogspot.co.uk/.
I started using our web site as the platform, just because we were adding new and original content regularly
For a few years I did use the blogspot account which has more authority but i tend just to promote the bridalshoesuk post from there at the moment.
Im new to Moz and still getting my head round whats right and wrong. I was told (not on moz) that i should have my blog on my website. When I learned on moz about Page rank and Authority I am now questioning where would my blogs be best placed.
Hope this helps

Blogger is a great platform and with great content it ranks accordingly, what platform are you using now for your blogging? If you are using something similar like wordpress I would not worry about what platform you are using as much as what content you are producing and where it is ending up/ who and where it is being linked to.

How best to handle on-site blogs for multiple site views in Magento?
Hi, I'm working with a site on Magento with views for UK, US and FR websites. Currently they have a French WordPress Blog that is pulled into the French site view and an English one that appears on both the US and UK views. Of course the problem here is that the US and UK views are duplicating content so these needs sorting super-fast. The plan is to disconnect the US view from the current English blog and create a dedicated US onsite blog. However, should we continue to use WordPress or instead use an alternative blog module or plugin for Magento? Cost is an issue and running three separate blogs and the cost of plugging these into each site view. However, getting these right for SEO is the most important factor here. I'm also concerned about the mess of multiple plugins causing page speed issues etc... My instinct is to go with WordPress, but I'm keen to hear what others think or have experience of.

Would it be smart to have 2 different blogs on our site?
I run Wick Video - where we make animated videos for businesses. We are toying around with making blog/video content geared toward marketers, _and _creating blogs/tutorials geared toward designers and animators. Since it's two totally different groups, we've had the idea of making two separate blogs. Is that a good idea? Any websites currently doing this well?

Where can I install a blog (not on the domain I'm optimising) which will help my search rankings?
I've got my hands tied, and I cannot install a blog like Wordpress on the domain I'm optimising. My question is, where then, would the next best place be? I've heard stories about subdomains being completely useless for affecting SEO of the root domain, and so anything external would probably have the same effect, correct? Would love to hear what some of you do in these situations. Cheers!

Does having blog on subdomain weaken primary site's SEO?
I have a Joomla site with a WordPress subdomain that I'm wanting to use as a learning center. It's far more simple for new blog editors and publishers to learn that over Joomla. The issue I'm facing is trying to figure out rather having the blog put into the primary domain instead of a subdomain will hurt my ratings at all? Where I got the idea that it may hurt ratings is due to how (from what I understand) search engines will see a subdomain slightly different than the primary domain. Thank you for any help!
