Article Placement on Websites and Blogs

    When you all put articles on your website or blog do you all put them in html (right on the website - ...com/articles.html) or in pdf format (...com/mywidget.pdf)?


    Just wanted to know which way is going to get my website the best exposure to top spots in the search engines. Or does it even really matter. Please advise.

    Thanx in advance. :)

    .html the reason being that it can be easily indexed by search engines.

    pdf actually can get spidered but generally html unless you have any reason to want to use pdf.

    I am not sure the drawbacks of pdf, although it can spidered by crawlers. I doubt all SE crawlers can do that. HTML would be a much preferred format since all crawlers can spider that as its known.
