Backlink: External blog Vs. Internal blog. Which is the best?
-
Hi,
some weeks ago a created a blog: mykeyword.wordpress.com Some one told me that it has got more trust that a "normal" www.mykeyword.com
Is it true?So, i wrote some articles and dropped a guide (linking inside to mysite.com) to blog.
My question is:
Right now i'm writing a lot of article ad i'm looking for the best channel where publish my content (post with link inside). My focus is improving quantity and quality of backlinks.Which way must i use?
1. Use my mykeyword.wordpress.com (give freshness to blog and new backlink)
2. Create ad internal blog mysite.com/blog and add article (without link?)
3. "Don't lose time" - Put new article only in external blog that will link to my site.I must manage a lot of new sites and i should increase SERP position. So, i have to choose the right way right now.
Thanks

If you simply want rankings: make guest posts on other blogs. As diverse as possible. Don't link with too much exact match keywords.
But make sure you have content on the websites you link to. If you have a very thin site with a lot of backlinks won't help your rankings. You need a site of "substance" to guest post to.

Thanks Yannick.But, If I should choose just one channel where put my articles (without loosing time and energy). Two way:
1. Looking for a external worth blog where publish my article (like a personal blog network)
2. Publish all article in internal blog (I must create it yet).I know, that question could be stupid but often i see people creating channel and content just because they must do!
My target is not rank a blog, but increase page that i created (Already all in first page).
So, what i need is backlink to those pages...I must do that for 5 sites, so you can guess how i have to split my time in a perfect way

I would stick to one internal blog instead of focusing on two. I have tried it before and writing blogs and getting links is super time consuming for even one site. I would put my best effort on one site and give it a 100% effort.

mykeyword.wordpress.com = a new website. That site needs to accumalate new google juice. So it will take a lot more time before it starts ranking and before that starts sending some nice juice to your site. It still is only 1 link from 1 ip address to your main site.
So I would blog on your main site domain.com/blog and do a guest post now and then. Make sure you do guest posts on different sites, to add to your IP diversity.

Old Blogs
We have several blogs on our site for a range of products we no longer stock. Would you set up a redirect for these - and how long would you keep it in place?

Sitemap For Static Content And Blog
We'll be uploading a sitemap to google search console for a new site. We have ~70-80 static pages that don't really chance much (some may change as we modify a couple pages over the course of the year). But we have a separate blog on the site which we will be adding content to frequently. How can I set up the sitemap to make sure that "future" blog posts will get picked up and indexed. I used a sitemap generator and it picked up the first blog post that's on the site, but am wondering what happens with future ones? I don't want to resubmit a new sitemap each time that has a link to a new blog post we posted.

What is the best way to use canonical tag
Hi, i have been researching this since yesterday and have looked at this subject many times before but still cannot get my head around it. i done a report on my site which was very useful, i used http://www.juxseo.com for my site www.in2town.co.uk and it brought me some useful information but part of that info was it was telling me that i should have on my home page a canonical tag which would improve my seo. Now i am using sh404sef for my friendly urls and i am using joomla 3.0 and when i approached the makers of the sh404sef to ask about the tag they said i would need to be careful of using it as it could damage my site and my rankings. i have read lots of information but still do not have a clear understanding behind it. can anyone please explain the best way to use this and should i be using where i may have some sort of duplicate page, any help to understand this would be great.

HTACCESS redirect vs. forwarding
I'm having trouble using htaccess redirect to redirect a subdomain to a new domain on a different server. Tech support at godaddy suggested I forward the subdomain. The subdomain has already been cached by google. Will forwarding in this way have the same affect (SEO wise) as an htaccess redirect??

Blog archives vs individual articles
In a client's blog, you can find each individual article pages as well as aggregate of articles per month or sometimes per day (including each entire article). The problem is that the article appears twice, once in a dedicated page (article page) and once with other articles (in the archive). Is there a specific SEO approach to this type of situation? Is there duplicate content? What page name should I give each archive (if at all), as there are quite a few? Thank you

Www vs non-www
We just had our site redesigned. Previously, it was indexed under www.suss.net, but now the developer has it at suss.net with www.suss.net 301 redirecting to suss.net. Is this bad for SEO?
