SEO and Blogger

Tricky.

Search engines usually seem to treat sub-domains as seperate sites, so link weighting for links between subdomain and main site should be approximately the same as from your existing external blog. So as to whether it's a good idea for SEO...I don't know...I would expect to see it gain ground on search terms that return the main site, and perhaps lose ground on some broader, less relevant terms due to the strengthened association between main site and blog.

I think it's a good idea in terms of assuring the reader that this blog is authoritative and 'official' though. I'd certainly go for it.

That's how our site is organised with the TDL at www.zubka.com and the blog on blog.zubka.com.

I agree with James' comments and can confirm this setup has worked well for us. How closely the two interact in SEO terms will be determined by your linking arrangements between the two sites.

Does anybody know if it is a good idea, in terms of SEO, putting a blogger blog under a subdomain (www.blogger.yourdomain.com)? Is it going to work in terms of SEO?
Right now I have a blog in blogger but it is not located in my domain (something you can do with blogger) and I would like to know wether it would be a good idea to change it to a subdomain of my TLD and if it will be beneficial for my website in terms of SEO.
Please if somebody has a solid opinion or experience about this, I would love to hear it.
Thanks in advance to all!

 

Dear All,

To be more precise I would like to know if you have experience about what will happen with the web page if I put the blogger blog under my top level domain as a subdomain. Will Google Sitemaps index all the content under my www.mydomain.com or will it keep doing it under the subdomain www.blogger.mydomain.com?? To make it short, will Google Sitemaps add the content of the blog as if it belonged to the main domain or not?
Thanks a lot to all,
Jose

In this ever changing Internet world I find it best to just try things out and see what happens.

The reality being what we are all trying to, those engaging for business reasons, generate more business. And one thing that I have learned is that loads of web visitors don't equate to loads of business.

The key with SEO is ensuring that when someone does find the page that they can read quality content that addresses their question (search string) and then follows through with a call to action...

It appears less is more!
