URL Structure for Blog

[National-Homebuyers]

Hi guys,

Hope you are all doing well today.

I have a questions with regards to our blog URL structure.

The URL for the blog is /blog - however when you click on a blog post the "/blog" disappears completely and is replaced by the title of the post. So it is ".com/title-of-post" for example.

Would it be better to keep the blog subdomain in the URL so it is ".com/blog/title-of-article"

Any insight would be appreciated. My thoughts are that surely the second option above is ideal?

Thanks

Tom

Hi Tom,

I guess if you used a /blog sub-folder, any links to individual posts will pass juice down to the main /blog landing page. If you go for the /blog-name URL, juice will be spread across the whole domain.

Hi Lewis,

That's is what I am thinking too. However, I am merely interested in this in terms of an effect on SEO.

Hi Tom,

I've always used /blog/blog-name as the URL structure for any blog. I feel this makes it clear to Google that these posts belong to a blog and are not a stand-alone, separate page on your site. However, I'm not sure it would have a massive SEO effect if you kept the /blog-name structure.

Cheers,

Lewis
