Blog question
-
If i attempt to split the blog and main site, how can Google recognize they are both owned by the same person.
-
Out of curiosity, why do you want to do this? Usually you want the blog on the main site in a folder, as this helps get all of the linkjuice pointed at the same domain rather than splitting your efforts into two domains. I'm just wondering the use case here.

Authorship markup was recently introduced by Google because there was no reliable way to verify ownership. The markup can be added to any page on any site to show Google that you are the original author.

Thanks Sha Menz,
Are there other ways that enables Google to recognize that main site and blog are by the same person.

Hi Atul,
The most reliable way to show Google ownership of your content is to implement Authorship markup.
Matt Cutts and Othar Hansson explain the different methods in this Google Webmaster Help video on Authorship Markup and this alternative method Using URL Paramaters for Authorship Markup if you are unable to edit tags (if for example you are using a cms).
There is also a very good explanation for bloggers from Yoast that is worth reading.
Hope that helps,
Sha

I've recently began blogging on my site. The content is all unique and useful and written properly without keyword stuffing...

Blog Categories
I am working on redoing my blog and there are many posts that fit into two categories. Should I keep them in only one? or place them in both? For example- Category 1 - Gucci Category 2 - Shirts Should a post about "Gucci shirts" go in both places or only the "Gucci" category and the "shirts" category would then only include posts about my more minor brands. Thanks!

My site is www.247VirtualAssistant.com and it wa sitting in the top 3 for all my keywords(virtual assistant, virtual assistants etc etc). Last month everything tanked and now on the 2nd and 3rd page for my keywords.
