Google Blogger Intergration, any SEO benefit?
-
I want to use google blogger for my website blog, we want to intergrate it into the existing website (which is why wordpress isn't ideal as there is no php)
if the domain was www.blog.mysite.com will www.mysite.com still recieve the seo bonuses of having a blog? or does it have to be www.mysite.com/blog
otherwise i have little use for a blog, what i also want to ask is how does it intergrate? i don't want the blog on my site to be like a 'window' into the google blog site as that defeats the purpose, i need the content to actually be on my site to ensure the seo benefits.
Thanks
Dan

blogger has been overused by spammers and if you want a blog with seo benefit it should really be under a domain folder for your site. Even if your site is not php you can make this happen.

If your current site does not support php, add in another file directory, and install a wordpress or blogging site there. This could be something like:
Yourdomain.com (in root public html folder)
Yourdomain.com / blog (/blog being a subfolder in your public html folder, that contains the additional WP or CMS installation)I dont see a SEO benefit in having your blog hosted externally. True you can have it link back frequently to your main domain, but in reality the more you post you are just feeding the blogging platform with additional pages rather than your own site. I do not see a benefit in using Google's blogging platform such as feedburner or blogspot having any additional benefits either.
Keep in mind there are no "seo benefits" from having a blog. High quality posts and content is what makes a blog valuable. Just having a lot of extra pages won't do anything to help you rank higher, or get your site seen as an authority on any given topic by Google.

Will this affect the local SEO listings in Google?
So, I'm trying to list the same exact address across all local listings for a client. How "exact" do they all need to match in order for them to be optimized for the 7-pack listings? Here is an example of what I'm dealing with... 999 Cherry Ln #1 Dallas, TX 75238 - Address on Google Plus page 999 Cherry Ln Ste 1, Dallas, TX 75238 - Address on every other business listing Is this close enough or is this inconsistency really hurting this client?

Frustration With Google Places
I have been trying to solve this problem with Google Places for quite some time now and just can't figure out where to go from here. I've tried several sent messages explaining the problem and even received several phone calls from Google Places trying to correct the issue with no luck. I have even tried totally deleting the listing and started over from scratch and re-verified the address with a mailed postcard. My site: http://www.captainrichsmith.com has a Google Places account set up and verified http://maps.google.com/maps/place?hl=en&georestrict=input_srcid:1c8fa43cf77e0c93&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=14&vpsrc=0 For some reason when you do a Google search for one of my keywords Miami Fishing Charters On the listings normally under the letter "E" on the Map another website has a placemark at my location Miami Fishing Charters Directory
