Hello all DP peeps! I have been thinking about writing content and I am interested in the best ways to write for a website that has main pages at mydomain.com + a blog that is at blog.mydomain.com. These sites are both related to the same topic. Basically my question is this: Should I write articles for both my main site and my blog, or just write the articles in my blog and link to them from my main page? My main pages are the ones Im trying to get sales from. I have heard that the more pages under than domain name you have, the more authority the search engines assign to that site. My blog, which is the same topic has adsense ads on them. Should I save my unique articles for this blog? Any thoughts are much appreciated!
Hi dbbrock1 I'm actually setting this up right now... I've decided to have static content on mydomain.com and the blog at mydomain.com/blog I'm doing this instead of a third level domain; blog.mydomain.com My thinking is that having the blog in a directory - and all posts in more directories - will over time give me plenty of deep links to a single domain. It's my understanding that parts of the Internet see third level domains as separate websites - so marketing one won't automatically help the other. -- I've done this in the past when I added a blog to a well established site (mydomain.com/blog) and plenty of my blog posts got links - which I believe counted as an external one way links to mydomain.com -- I'll be interested to hear of reasons why blog.mydomain.com is better -- because as mentioned, I'm setting up a new website right now.
DomainGamer I can see benefits of a separate hosted domain for adding a blog to an established website... (if you're planning to send the new blog's domain many of the same links you're already sending mydomain.com) but wouldn't it be better to get the links that the blog will generate directly to your main website? eg. mydomain.com/blog - existing links count + new links to blog will count. mydomainsblog.com - new links count mydomain.com - existing links count + link from mydomainsblog.com count
I think that it is the best way with doityourself for the web site and blog. But try to avoid dublicate content. That is the thing you might get penalty from google
you can do all this things, but please keep in your mind 1point don't use same CONTENT & ARTICLE for all sites because it's call Duplicate......
Thanks guys I dont know why I didnt think of that until now. What would suggest I do for the redirection to pass on all my link juice from my sub domain blog?
