    I have a math tutoring site ( http://mathsupporter.com)where I give paid services. Now I have a math help blog at http://math-homeworkhelp.blogspot.com.

    I wanted to move the blog to my own host so that I can use wordpress and do more SEO using their plugins. The aim of my blog is to attract more visitors and divert them to my site.

    Which will be the appropriate url? The options are :-
    1.blog.mathsupporter.com . Here the problem is that mathsupporter is not a right keyword for math help and its related keywords.

    2. Should I register another domain name like mathhomeworkhelpblog.com ?. I think this one is more optimized one.
    What do you think?

    I would go with mathsupporter.com/blog

    You want to keep as much authority on your main domain as possible.

    I will second that, since the blog is very much related to your main site, it is good to put it under the main site.

    You need to do more SEO work on blog.mathsupporter.com than mathsupporter.com/blog

    Now, I am in confusion.:confused: Somewhere I read that wordpress is better than blogger for many reasons. One of them is SEO facility for each pages.

    But my present blogger blog has 228 Google links and 12 alexa links and has a pagerank of 4.Its URL is math-homeworkhelp.blogspot which I think more optimized for the keyword math help.

    If I start a new blog in wordpress with my own domain name like blog.mathsupporter.com or mathsupporter.com/blog, it will defnitly do more work and time to get optimized. Right?

    Also, if I import my present blogger blog to wordpress will it peanalised for same content by google?
