Where do I place my blog

[helgeolaussen]

Sorry but this has probably been discussed earlier, but things change all the time.

Gonna start blogging about my webside.
Where should I place my blog to get most SEO benefits for my main page?
mysite.xx/blog
blog.mysite.xx (on a server with diffrent ip)
An external TDL.

Thank you!

I will go for domain.xxx/blog

Already answered repeatedly but piping in just to lend even more support to the consensus.

Agreed with previous responses. domain.xx/blog is the way to go. It doesn't necessarily benefit your home page, but it is the least time-consuming to rank and only takes a small percentage of your "link juice" (the same as any other link coming off your home page.

Given blogs are dynamic content and therefore are less impactful than static content on a site, I would place it in a way you think your incoming traffic would find it most easily. This, again, is why we suggest a domain.xx/blog layout, as this allows your incoming traffic to locate it within 1 click.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

You should place it like www.yoursite.com/blog .

The reason is if you place it on a sub-domain, search engine treats it an entirely different site. SO you have to build the sub-domain reputation through back-links. Which is time consuming and need a lot of hard work.

Thanks

The first one, www.mysite.com/blog - is the way to go. Many articles on it, but in short maximizes backlink juice...
