Getting The Full SEO Benefits From A Blog
Sunday, January 20, 2013
WordPress is one of the top SEO enhanced blogs that you can select to use. It is a world leader. It is simple and easy to use, looks great and above all is 90% Search Engine Optimisation ready out of the box.
This is part of a series of tip articles just about using WordPress for maximizing on Search Engine Optimization.
Tip: Make sure the blog is on YOUR site
So often we are asked about adding a blog on another website such as Blogger or Wordpress.com which provides free blog hosting and has a high PR rank.
If you are using your blog to enhance your SEO then you HAVE to place your blog on your web site - it cannot live on on a different website.
Do not even think about using a sub-web such as http://www.blog.myhappysite.com. Why would you use a sub web anyhow unless if you want a cool blog URL.
Sub webs are part of your website but they are confusing from an SEO position. If you want to have the blog content 100% associated with your website then make sure it is off a sub folder and NOT a sub web for example : http://www.myhappysite.com/blog.
Placing your blog on a sub web will not give you the same SEO advantage as having them as a sub-folder on your website. Sub webs may be treated different by different search engines - the result outcome will be unclear.
If your blog is currently hosted on blogger.com or wordpress.com then you should consider to move it as soon as possible if you want to raise your SEO position.
If you have some existing rankings for keywords on Google and Yahoo then you do need to be warned - adding a lot of new content may affect your ranking negatively at first.
We have experienced client ranking drop after adding a lot of new content in the form of a blog to a clients sites. Adding a hit of new content 'dilutes' your current site content if the new content is NOT SEO optimized for the keywords that you want to rank for. Search Engine Optimize the content before making it live to avoid this dilution process. Taking the time to do this BEFORE you add it to your site will make a big difference to your existing ranking position.
