Hi everybody I am about to start a photoblog that should be related to my website; from a SEO point of view I was asking myself what could be the best url: a subdomain as blog.mydomain.com or an independent url as mydomainblog.com? Thanks to all Fabio
well a subdomain and another entirely differ domain are considered the same to Google. Except that you will just be paying fo r that second domain. So throw that one out. Really you should have you blog as part of your main domain mydomain.com/blog would be the best senario....otherwise pick the subdomain
It is better to have separate domain for your blog, which gives more attraction for you blog than subdomain.
going for a domain is always better than a subdomain...but its not that a subdomain cannot do well... Still i will suggest you to go for a domain...
Posts 5 -subdomain 2 -domain/category 1 -new url 2 joelchrist , saibee: you mean something like mydomainblog.com or blogmydomain.com? I guess it should be good to have a recall of the website in the blog url, or not? Keep in mind that my purpose in doing the blog is pulling attention (and SEO) toward my website.
Keeping it as a subdomain will be good from seo point of view. Because you can get more density if you can mention one keyword twice in the url...like myphotodomain.com/photoshot
Hi I am not sure I understand. You seem preferring the subdomain option but your sample myphotodomain.com/photoshot shows a category not a subdomain, right?
In your situation, you should do your website.com/blog This will have the best SEO benefit and support for your domain as a whole as you will continually be adding fresh content to your site rather than a sub or new domain.
