Is an article better on a website or a blog for search engines?

2 replies
I have a web site with a wordpress blog on the same domain at hostgator.
www.mysite.com/blog If I want to post a fresh article I wrote, do you think it is better as a page on the site, or a post on the blog, as far as the search engines are concerned? The article would be relevant in either place.

If I put it on the site it would be www.mysite.com/articletitle If I put it on the blog it would be www.mysite.com/blog/article-title Does that type of url with the blog in it hurt the rankings?

Thanks Glenn

    Glenn,

    You should do some testing and let us know which one works better in your thread!

    Hi,

    I would say it's better if you put your original articles on your website first, tweak it a little bit and you can even post it in the other directories. As long as you have rich keywords in your article that will do the job for you.
