Domains vs. Blogger

Discussion in 'SEO' started by The Site Man, Feb 7, 2009.

    Oh and I have some other questions for all of you.

    -Do you think a personally owned domain/website will fare better in Google search results and PR than a blogspot blog will?

    -I have noticed that with my blogs, they show up lower in the search results if I stop posting new content (even if I have lots of backlinks). For a website, w/several pages full of good content, will the same thing happen if I don't add any new content, or will the website be more likely to remain in the same place in search results (again, I would have lots of backlinks)?

    -And lastly, what would you say is a good number of backlinks to have to a website/blog (i.e. through articles, etc.) to ensure it has a good page rank and shows up at hte top of search results? Mine are doing decent already but I want to see much more improvement.

    Thanks a lot, I appreciate it

    Having a blogspot blog does not effect you. Google looks for constant new content. If new content is not present, your serps will go down.

    There is no real number for a good pr. You need to get quality related back links. Not bad sites or anything else. Just keep working on content.

    if you are goona be blogging for a while and grow your site, then its better to have your own domain. its good for branding, yuo own it, and you have more control and options with your own blog in terms of managing and customization

    Why waste your time developing content on a platform you don't control?

    blogsport is good for quick indexing, but over all placement is up in the air.

    Definitely get your own domain. If you are serious about all this, domain is a "must have".

    this is the adsense section not SEO...
    maybe you should learn how to follow
    directions first before delving into SEO.

    all is ok. but blogger is more optimized than site, to promote blogs u just need to add new content and high pr links

    Buy a domain and have a blog account. I have my site domains registered at blogware - best of both worlds!

    Yes,
    Domain gives better resuilt than blogger.
    But ! thing must care about it,
    blogger is on self optimized based, you need only uniue contents with related post.
    But n site, there are lot of actiities availableFor seo point of view.

    To my mind the whole blog vs. domain thing is not about what is better/worse, but about what your goals are. If this is sharing info and getting feedback, blog is the thing. Anyway, whatever you choose, good content and regular updates are a must.

    Yes I agree that Google can delete your blogger account anytime. So be careful and get your own domain. ;)
