I am about to create a blog in wordpress platform but i am bit confused about the SEO effects it will have regarding the URL. Which one will be better and faster ranked by Search Engines? http://www.mysite.com/blogs or http://blogs.mysite.com. Need suggestions from geeks regarding this filed!!!
I think http://blogs.mysite.com is better for search engine bcoz this is sub-domain and sub domain is like a website and it promote for main domain. And sub domain is like a separate domain and its promotes easily and many keywords.
If you have the keyword on your Blog Name / Title, then the second option will be useful for the SEO.
hi less is the special character in URL more good result if provide in the search engine, so http://blogs.mysite.com is better .
Hello gjivan As per mine experience mysite.com/blogs is best because as per crawling by Google your home page with inner page those are also indexing. Its beneficial 4 you..
You can do blog, put fresh content and more interesting to your blog, it will attract more visitor to your page and give some comments, this will helpful to have a good result in serp, but other link building techniques are also useful and effective like social bookmarking, article, and forum.
THankx everyone for replies guys. @sisatel, yah i am gonna use my optimized and researched keywords in my blog like blogs.mysite.com/keyword1.php or mysite.com/blogs/keyword1.php etc. So, in this case, the second will be ranked faster right? I am asking this question cz , i have seen in some article that, google has a different view in ranking main domain with subpages and subdomain with subpages...
Well, it depends on your goals, the first option will just be considered as the part of existing website and the second option would be considered as new domain, completely different fro mysite.com. However, if you are looking for higher alexa rank, high no. of indexed pages as search engines loves big websites as long as they are frequently updated with fresh and unique content. Because the traffic visiting the blog will be considered as websites traffic. In second case, as it is a separate domain, and you can get some quality backlinks and link juice, but that too is only possible if you host your blog on different IP as 100s of links from the same IP will be counted as only one. Even C Class IP should also be different. Traffic would remain same in both cases and whosoever visits your website from www.mysite.com/blog can also visit your website by blog.mysite.com as well. Hope, this should help
Well according to me using this the link like such http://www.mysite.com/blogs would be helping you in preforming SEO with on your blogging site, as this is the most common form of URL structure that you would be finding for blogs that are integrated with websites.
I am really agree with your opinion about creating subdomain for a website rather creating a internal url. Nice reply
Use the first one http://www.mysite.com/blogs. This is more reliable than the second url. This is helpfult oo if you have plans of combining business content with viral content later.
