What platform is it better to write my blogs
-
In a nutshell, I have a website and on the web site I have a rolling blog updated regularly with informative ,interesting and non pushy original material.
However . I notice that my website blog has a lower page and domain Authority than my original platform which is on Googles very own platform "blogger" .
Should I use Blogger or the website ? or would it be better to promote the website blog on blogger ? or am I over thinking this ?

Thanks for the peace of mind and for a change it seems im doing something right.
I suppose its ok to promote the articles on my web site through my blogger account . IE A one line description a picture and a link to the Article.

I'd take the domain authority of blogger out the this equation. That is one downfall of DA, is that it'll show a real high domain authority for a blogspot.com domain, even though in this case it's really the authority of the subdomain that matters.

Hi.
My web site blog is http://www.bridalshoesuk.co.uk/pages/News.html and my blogger is http://weddingshoeuk.blogspot.co.uk/.
I started using our web site as the platform, just because we were adding new and original content regularly
For a few years I did use the blogspot account which has more authority but i tend just to promote the bridalshoesuk post from there at the moment.
Im new to Moz and still getting my head round whats right and wrong. I was told (not on moz) that i should have my blog on my website. When I learned on moz about Page rank and Authority I am now questioning where would my blogs be best placed.
Hope this helps

Blogger is a great platform and with great content it ranks accordingly, what platform are you using now for your blogging? If you are using something similar like wordpress I would not worry about what platform you are using as much as what content you are producing and where it is ending up/ who and where it is being linked to.

From a company perspective; would you recommend using a service like postloop to acquire additional blog comments through paying users.
I’m always hesitant when it comes to purchasing comments but it seems like a natural approach. Is this something that Google would take notice and/or frown upon? - Anything we should avoid? Any additional information would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

Can You Get Better Ranking/Conversion by Reducing the Number of Pages?
I am seriously considering reducing the number of pages in a section of our website. We currently have 39 webpages. I'm considering reducing it to 6. The site architecture would make more sense giving recent design changes. And we could focus more attention on improving conversions from these 6 new pages. But I'm considering doing this mainly because I think it'll help us do a better job of communicating to and converting our audience. The new pages would be longish. The existing 39 pages are by no means stubs, but these new pages would be longer. Anyway, what I want to put out for discussion is the SEO impact. What are the good SEO reasons for reducing the number of pages? Can 6 well-done pages out perform 39 pretty-well-done pages? How many queries can one page rank for well? Is this SEO suicide? Honestly, there's a part of me that cannot believe I'm saying this, but I think my heart is in the right place.

Should my client copy and paste his blog posts onto other professional sites?
I have a client who is an Attorney and participates in a couple of different Q and A legal sites. One of these legal sites is recommending to my client that he copy and paste his blog posts onto his profile page on the Q and A site. I understand my client wanting to copy and paste his blog posts onto these sites, as it will not only get his content in front of a larger audience, but also lend credibility. However, I've always heard that that could cause some duplicate content problems. Will my client's blog likely get penalized by google for copying and pasting his blog posts onto other relevant sites?

Hi everybody, We are going to start a blog for posting about topics related to our online shop and its products. Our question is... what is better in terms of SEO.... Creating it in a new domain and linking to our online store when neccessary, or integrating it in our actual online shop and take advantage of our visitors? Thank you very much in advance!

Blog Frequency
Hi, We have a new blog, we write 4 blogs per month and have been posting all 4 in one go at the same time per month. Would it be more beneficial to post the blogs 1 per week or does it not matter? Also, is 4 blog 250 word blogs per month enough or should we be doing more? Thanks Andrew

We are contemplating whether to put a blog on our site.
The reasons we want to put one up is obviously for SEO reasons but since we are a small business with limited resources the higher ups are worried that we will start strong but slack off. Some feel that it's worse to start and not keep up the blog as it gives an unprofessional vibe to google and other users. I maintain that I will try to keep it up to the best of my abilities and that it's better to have something than nothing. What do you feel and do you have any experiences in this?

How often should I write a blog post?
I'm sure this has been asked before but I've searched for it in the Q&A Forum and couldn't find any relevant answer. I was thinking that a weekly post would suffice for my blog because the audience isn't one which would be checking frequently + there aren't very many new developments in the industry I'm in that would necessitate more than that. However, I was told that if I can't blog consistently 2-3 times per week, I really shouldn't start a blog, as it would need that much posting. Thoughts on this?
