This is part of a series of tip articles just about using WordPress for leveraging on SEO.

Tip: Make sure the blog is on YOUR site

We are often asked

If you are doing blogging for SEO reasons compared to obtaining traffic purposes, then you can ONLY locate your blog in one place and one place only – On your site!

Do not even think about using a sub-web such as http://www.blog.myhotsite.com. Why would you use a sub web anyhow unless if you want a cool blog URL.

Sub webs are part of your web site but they are unclear from an SEO position. If you want to have the blog content 100% connected with your website then make sure it is off a sub folder and NOT a sub web for example : http://www.myhappysite.com/blog.

Placing your blog on a sub web will not give you the same SEO advantage as having them as a sub-folder on your website. Sub webs may be treated different by different search engines – the result outcome will be unclear.

If your blog is currently on WordPress.com or Blogger.com then consider quickly to move it and it’s contents to your physical website. Shifting a WordPress.com hosted site to your own WordPress site hosted by you is simple – do a database backup and then set up WordPress on your web site and then restore the contents. Moving a Blogger site to a WordPress site is not that easy. If you want to learn how to do this then just Google – “moving a blogger blog to wordpress” and you will get some good hints on how to do this.

If you have some existing rankings for keywords on Google and Yahoo then you do need to be warned – adding a lot of new content may affect your ranking negativily at first.

We have had clients who had great ranking have their ranking drop through the floor when we added a large blog. Adding a blast of new content ‘dilutes’ your current site content if the new content is NOT SEO optimized for the keywords that you want to rank for. Search Engine Optimize the content before making it live to avoid this dilution effect. Taking the time to do this BEFORE you add it to your site will make a big difference to your existing ranking position.
