That depend on your hosting and domain. Separate blog is better in my opinion as you can always link two together.

Do you think adding a blog into my website itself is better than having a seperate one, like a wordpress blog?
I think the beauty of a blog is several fold:





1. It provides a means to position yourself/your business as an expert in the minds of your readers.





2. It enables you to provide timely, accurate information that is of interest to your readers.





3. It makes your web site appear less %26quot;static,%26quot; in that it is constantly being updated.





4. It gives your readers a reason to continually visit your web site.





Each of these attributes can be of tremendous value to you as a marketer. Granted, as others have indicated, a blog by itself can accomplish many of the same things. I think it depends on whether or not you want people to also take advantage of your web site. The thing about providing a link from your web site to your blog and vice-versa, is that you are asking your readers to do two things instead of just one.


So, in my opinion, adding a blog to your web site is more advantageous than building a separate site for your blog.





Good luck to you.

Reply:Hi,





I have a lot of experience marketing small companies online (I have 3 companies). One of the best ways is to sign up at business directories and protals. These are basically listings of businesses (simliar to the phone book). The advantage is that these portals usually get a lot of traffic and they%26#039;re ranked high on Google because of all the quality links they contain.





My favorite portal is called Directory Exclusive. I signed up a few weeks ago because they%26#039;re giving a away a free business card holder when a person enter%26#039;s their company info. I received it in the mail 3 days ago =)





I don%26#039;t know if they still have that promotion, but you can try to get the free card holder here:

Reply:It depends on a few factors. Google likes quality inbound links. So if your blog is ranked highly, then links from your blog to your site should be valuable. Depending how you build your links, every post could be linking back to your site. If you build lots of quality posts, you will have lots of links.





You can build a wordpress blog into your own site by using a folder when you copy over the wordpress files. Your site would still have it%26#039;s normal home page at www.yoursite.com. Your blog could be starting at www.yoursite.com/wordpress. You would just add links from your home page to your blog.





I%26#039;ve included a site link for installing wordpress. It addresses using a folder name as an option.
Reply:def. set it up on a seperate url. it is always better to rank for two parking spaces in the search engines than one. You can direct traffic directly to the corporate site from the blog.
