Adding blog(s) to my site

    Hi everyone,
    I will be adding a blog to one of my sites. My question is: SEO-wise, is it better to add just one blog to a website combining all sub-categories like skin bleaching, anti-aging, cellulite problems, eye-care etc in it? Or would it be better to add few blogs (one per sub-category)?

    Also should I create a sub domain/s for blog/s (eyecreamblog.mysite.com etc.) or just put it in sub folders (www.mysite.com/blog)?

    I would be very thankful for your input!

    I suggest just one blog mostly because it will be easier to manage. You can separate your different content into categories. Use WordPress and go for /blog. If your content is totally not related, then it may make sense to setup more than 1 blog. Such as /content1 and /content2, etc.

    One blog is enough. There is no need to create to many blogs just to organize all of your sub categories.

    I agree... no reason to seperate categories into different blogs. There's no advantage (SEO-wise) and it will make it more difficult to manage and update...

    I say, Yes create multiple blogs!! You know why??? Because Google loves updates and updated blogs are an amazing way to go about it all! You can create a blog with all the categories, then you can go on from there and a week later create a blog with one of the categories and explain it further... then so and and so forth with the rest of the categories.

    I think yes, for the reason that there will be going fresh content on your site and Google love fresh content.

    You should add different categories to one blog and add seo plugins to your blog.
