Welcome to the Q&A Forum

I had a blog associated with my site, then I had to merge two Google accounts and to make a long story short, my old Blogger page won't transfer to the new account.  So, I'm starting fresh. My Question: Would I benefit most from an on-site subdomain blog, adding content to my site on a weekly/monthly basis, or an off-site blog such as Blogger, linking back to pages and resources on my site? Then, any other juicy tips would be great.  Honestly, I won't expect a large subscription base.  There will be a natural draw for some trade associates, and I'll be linking and promoting them as well. Thanks for any input.  I'm new to the community, and SEO, but really impressed with this community.

I just discovered that our site is registered with the major search engines without the "www" sub domain.  Both domains resolve directly to our site, which I need to get corrected.  I had planned to have the root (honestabe.com) forwarded to the sub (www.honestabe.com).  However, I then found that the sub-domain is not listed with the search engines. Of course, naturally almost all of our inbound links include www.  Does Google differentiate between links with and without the sub-domain? In other words, if I forward the www address to the root, will I still get the SEO benefit of those inbound links using www? I'm trying to figure out how to approach this.  I'm hoping someone is going to make me feel really stupid for asking this and say it's no big deal.  However, I have a feeling this could be a mess.
