Hi all, I have created a website using the Weebly website creator and uploaded this website to my own registered domain. I want to create a blog for the website now, but if I use Weebly for this there is only the option to have the blog hosted on their server so it will be in a different domain. One of the main reasons for me wanting a blog is to help get the website ranked higher so my question is: Will the fact that the blog is not in the same domain as my website have a negative impact on the ranking of the website? Thanks.
If you have a blog hosted on your own domain, you are adding fresh content to your site by blogging. If you have your blog hosted elsewhere, you are adding links to your site, assuming your are linking to your own site from the blog. Either way, it helps with your site by having a blog.
It will have a positive impact, but it would be much better if your blog were from the same domain of your website.
